As mentioned in the article, this is analogous to Facebook, and although the idea is it will help Selling Manager take off as a platform (those who have used it know how bad it is) and at the same time remove the appeal of other third-party selling tools/services, the question I want to know is how does eBay intend to rewards these developers? Will it offer commissions, access to user data, allow advertisements in the tools (like facebook), as it is notoriously monopolistic, greedy, and uncompromising and from my experience of eBay it is not in its nature to do such things.
