According to Adam Cohen in The Perfect Store, Ebay is the largest
Internet auction not because it has always been the cheapest or the
best, but because it has a first-mover advantage. In the Netherlands
Marktplaats.nl seems to have that advantage.
I would like an educated and well researched guess as to whether Ebay
will be able to grow larger than Marktplaats in the Netherlands. How?
Examples of other countries. And when?

Answer
There is no answer at this time.

Ebay will buy out Marktplaats.

The only question is When?
