Meg Whitman in BusinessWeek. It’s a rather lightweight discussion but it’s interesting enough esp re IP/VeRO and eBay’s internal biz culture.

Quite interesting BBC piece on Google from Matt Frei.

Detailed proposal for the Post Office to offer proper banking services to business.

And a selection of Sunday paper froth:

Heathrow boss sold lost luggage on eBay.

“Paypal will be your friend.”

Minder’s Motor on eBay in the Mirror. There’s an Arthur Daley gag here somewhere…

Birmingham man buys a bus on eBay cos he’s homesick.

   PayPal will be your friend, indeed. It seems that a PayPal press release will be your friend if you are an editor with an empty space in your paper.

   “Paypal will be your friend.”

   I just read this article. Is it true what they’ve said about how eBay auctions are now booming? I was always hearing that they were way down but that we should be seeing them doing well in this economy. Or am I just listening to the wrong crowd?

   An eBay spokesman said: “People who try to break the law on our site won’t get away with it. We work closely with police forces.”

   LOL!
