"In any case, eBay Live is frequently a stage for drama, and not just with Google. Alibaba, an eBay rival in China, found out the hard way at eBay Live last year in Las Vegas.
It had rented a restaurant in the hotel where eBay Live was holding a party.
An eBay executive who found out tried unsuccessfully to rent the restaurant from under Alibaba, according to an Alibaba executive and a hotel employee present during the animated discussion. The eBay executive eventually forced Alibaba to remove all of its signs."
So let me get this straight... EBay executives are a bunch of insecure bullying assholes? That, and they just gave up 188.3 million clicks from Google? Note, however that searching Google for "used Playstation 3" still gives me tons of appropriate results - including from other auctions.
