APRIL 1, 2008 Merger? Ebay and Amazon

From a an eBay PowerSeller:

As the fight for online dominance heats up with a recent buyout attempt of Yahoo by Microsoft, it comes as no surprise that Amazon has made a run for auction giant EBAY. As Ebay transitions to a new management team and a new way of doing business, the synergy between Amazon and Ebay has become more apparent. "I think this would be a great merger uniting more buyer and sellers in a single venue. What could be better for sellers than creating an even bigger monopoly for sellers to wrestle with", said a one ebay powerseller who wished to remain anonymous.

When changes were announced at Ebay earlier this year to not only include a new management team but also a new way of doing business, many sellers on Ebay joined an online boycott of Ebay in an attempt to show their disdain for the new direction ebay planned to take. The months ahead should prove to be interesting as Amazon plans to restructure its Seller Support system after the JD Powers award winning Ebay powerseller support system.

Bronze level Powerseller Selma Tings a single Mom in Muncie Indiana is excited about the possibilities. "It would make my life better to sell my things."

The takeover has been met with some resitance by the management team at Ebay. Bardeep Singh Daliwal a senior programmer at Ebay shared an internal memo stating, "We may not be headed down a river... More like up a creek."




Wishing you a happy April Fools Day. Now, get back to work.
