		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Power sellers tell me that bringing more tools inside the eBay ecosystem isn’t as important to them as making it easier for buyers to find items&quot;

Well of course they&#039;d say that, because most of eBay&#039;s platform strategy since we opened the platform in 2003 has been oriented toward seller optimization -- which is very bad news for high-volume incumbent sellers, but generally good for the marketplace (and, by extension, for buyers). The fact is that buyer discoverability is not and has not ever been eBay&#039;s biggest problem -- if the goods are there, buyers generally find them, although perhaps not at the price that a particular high-volume seller might prefer.]]></description>

They dont allow google checkout as a payment option. This opening up seems to be just a show put up.]]></description>
