Microsoft to buy eBay?

Here’s an interesting link I discovered on eBay’s Book Seller’s Forum earlier today - Microsoft to buy eBay? along with several bloggers’ reactions to the story.

The New York Post story says that according to multiple sources “Microsoft has considered buying eBay and merging it with its MSN portal - a deal that would give MSN and eBay considerable clout to take on Google.”

Certainly food for thought. Personally, I’d hate to see it happen but I also think that eBay may be really struggling right now to keep it’s numbers up and sustain growth in the auction sector.
