When Pierre Omidyar founded eBay 12 years ago, he wanted to build the world’s most efficient marketplace. At the very least, he launched the most comprehensive one. Today eBay is a conglomeration of Web sites where people sell everything from car parts to carp arts. However, with $60 billion worth of goods changing hands on eBay’s worldwide sites this year, all that stuff has a downside: It can be a drag to pick something to buy.

With all the press rogue Internet pharmacies have received in recent months for selling prescription drugs illegally, it’s tempting to assume that there must be similar sites — or maybe even the same ones — trafficking in illicit drugs as well. After all, with all the anonymity the Internet provides, if you can buy Vicodin online without a prescription, then surely you can also buy, say, heroin just as easily — or so you might assume. However, you’d be wrong.
