Uppenbarligen gillade inte eBay att Google la ett event i direkt anslutning till dem själv och dessutom ett event om en sak som konkurrerar med eBay's PayPal. Först efter att eBay dragit in all annonsering @ Google beslutade de senare att ställa in sitt event...
Citat:
Late Wednesday, Google had scheduled an event in Boston designed to promote its Checkout service, which competes with eBay's PayPal service. The event was slated for Thursday night and was intended to draw attendees from a nearby convention sponsored by eBay for its largest sellers.
San Jose, Calif.-based eBay which also hosted its annual shareholder meeting Thursday morning, responded to the move by pulling all of its ads from Google. The auctioneer is one of Mountain View, Calif.-based Google's largest advertisers; estimates put the company's advertising total at about 1% to 2% of Google's annual revenue.
