Re: What happens if Ebay and google will ever work together? Will I be linked?
Google has publicly stated time after time, they are NOT INTERESTED in the online auction business.
Google IS interested in generating more advertising revenue. They are going to start placing buy buttons in their shopping section and also maybe in the search results. Many online retailers are freaking out about this. To be honest, I am watching this with interest ans a SLIGHT amount of nervousness.
I wouldn't worry about Google buying eBay. YAHOO, on the other hand, is likely to be in the running if eBay becomes a takeover target.
Edited to add: I DO believe that at some point eBay will be acquired by another company. Without PayPal, their revenue growth is almost ZERO. To fix that, they are going to need to be acquired by a partner that offers synergy. It is difficult to think of a more synergistic partner than a search portal - not Google, but one of the smaller search engines.
