Yahoo/Ebay partnership...WOW..

[Chris Hanson]

Yahoo PayPal Checkout
Yahoo, eBay Payment Partnership Said Growing Faster Than Expected
yahoo is now owned by Ebay ./...Watch out....

I remember a week ago somebody was saying Yahoo was sharing info with Ebay and that Yahoo was placing Ebay tracking cookies in their CPU.. Well they was right..

Erm ...where exactly does it say that Yahoo is now owned by eBay? Last time I checked, they were discussing a takeover by Microsoft. I doubt eBay managed to take them over in 1 day and come up with more than 40 billion dollars.

ebay is not the owner of yahoo.. if you read above it says yahoo and paypal (specific for paypal = owned by ebay)

partnership doesnt mean ebay has taken over yahoo... and 2ndly yahoo rejected microsoft bid for takeover..

i think i needed to add the clarification

FYI.Until 10 days ago, there were no ebay flags on my yahoo email accounts. Now there is, so I am concerned about changes..

theyre only doing this because they know that if google does anything big (like roll out its own auction site), they will all get raped. with a long pointy stick. so yahoo,ebay,microsoft are trembling because of google.
