Bah , Screw Ebay , eventually Google will put into place a far BIGGER & better auction site that will indeed be a MAJOR competator to the Ebay system, they are just building up their back-end first.

Iam willing to bet that as soon as Ebay turned their back on GOOGLE that the Google team began work on their own Online Auction called Googleauction or something to the same effect , imagine that!.. the worlds biggest Search engine starts the worlds biggest auction site and with each search ppl would have direct links to an auction…

Payment wars ahead

Mental. Google Blogoscoped has reported that eBay has banned its users from using Google Checkout. Instead, users are very much encouraged to use their own payment system, PayPal. This battle will be an interesting one to watch…

if google wanted, they could BAN all links to ebay from their search engine.

imagine the money they would lose. I think they should be happy, and possibly would attract more people and businesses.

we all know how horrible paypal is at gouging high fees.

I don´t think your example is sound because Ebay has nothing to do with the transactions at all, it simply offers one possibility (besides money order, credit card, cash and more).

This would only work if paypal would be the only way to transfer money. It is not.

No it’s the same as if you went into somewhere like.. Taco Bell for instance.
They serve Pepsi in there and that’s what you have to drink. If you went into the place and brought your own bottle of Coke then obviously they wouldn’t like it. Taco Bell have an agreement/tie up with Pepsico, ebay sleeps with Paypal.
Whilst you are on their premisis you have to use/consume their products.

(By the way does anybody want to buy this secret recipe I have..?)

I agree. At face value this would seem like a monopolistic business practice.
