Is eBay up for sale?

Scot Wingo over on eBay Strategies says Microsoft and Yahoo! are bidding to buy eBay, with Yahoo! the expected winner.

Could eBay be sold and how would that change the auction business landscape? Would it be a good thing? Only time will tell, but sellers should be prepared for change in 2008. Whether the change comes from normal site changes which sellers have learnt to take in their stride or from a buy out, change is the one certainty of trading on eBay.
