After Ebay announced more fee hikes for this quarter, many of it’s members began pleading for Google to create it’s own auction site. I guess that’s not going happen, at least not anytime soon. This week it was announced that Google and Ebay would be forming a partnership of sorts.

Whenever someone typed in a search that yields no results in Ebay; Google would step in and show it’s search results. Ebay is hoping to get more sellers who are selling their services such as someone who is giving scuba diving lessons.

These two companies also shows that everything comes full circle. While you are trying to find other services, you can also use Skype to speak directly to a customer service rep right from your pc.

Looks like it is getting harder for someone to use one company over another, especially if they dislike one of those companies.
