Google vs. eBay

Google Inc. confirmed the existence of test service called Google Base that could put it squarely in competition with eBay Inc., one of the largest buyers of its search advertisements. ...

The existence of Google Base heightens anticipation of the Mountain View, Calif., company's long-expected entry into direct competition with online auctioneer eBay, which also owns a minority stake in classified listings site Craigslist Inc.

"It's going to slowly chip away at eBay's growth and opportunities, especially in international markets where there is a tremendous amount of growth at Google," said Brian Blair, principal at Wedge Partners LLC, a New York research firm.

Sort of a Rumble in the Jungle for our era, we think.

UPDATE: Fucking prepositions...
