Google to power text advertisements for eBay

Search engine giant Google has been seen as a potential competitor for online ecommerce giants eBay. However, the two companies are now collaborating and Google would now be powering text-based advertising for eBay’s Web sites outside of the U.S.

The two companies would also be working on interoperability between their “click to call” advertising services.

Interestingly, eBay is already in a similar partnership with Yahoo!, which became the exclusive provider of graphical ads for eBay’s U.S. Web site!

The latest deal between Google and eBay would also see them working on possibilities of interoperability between Google Talk and eBay’s Skype messenger.
