Ebay is now offering the ability to place your talent, skill, or service as an auction. You can also place a classified Ad good for 28 days along with the traditional buy now or bid type auctions...could be a great place for writers or even finding local busines.

Wow..thanks for the tip! I had no idea ebay was offering that service...

You figured that if ebay owns a sizeable chunk of craigslist, which offers similar services, but under a more community based forum-feel, it was only a matter of time before the idea trickled down onto their site. Here's to ebay trying to dominate everything

Google needs to have 'google auctions' or something so ebay isn't being the microsoft of the online auction world. What's funny is that Ebay fears any kind of competition, especially if google were to delve into 'their' market. Example: Ebay revoked the use of Google checkout as a method of payment. Then again, they wouldn't allow outbound links (of a seller) to their eCommerce website for example. However, where's there a wall, there's usually a way to the other side.

Ebay is to the web auction world what Starbucks is to the java latte swirl universe! Read my posts and thread on Starbucks over at our San Diego Community forum sometime for a good hearty belly laugh under Gen Disc Topic, Registered 501C NP. They are opening a 3rd one soon, all within 8 blocks of each other, all on the same little single lane Avenue....talk about a latte overload!
