EBAY

eBay bid

Intercontinental Exchange, the company that runs the New York Stock Exchange, has reportedly offered to buy eBay at a valuation of more than $30 billion. There are apparently no formal talks yet, but ICE has approached eBay at least twice. However, ICE says eBay has not yet "engaged in a meaningful way." Wall Street Journal
 
eBay harassment

Do set aside some time for this crazy story about how eBay employees allegedly harassed online critics that they suspected were being funded by rival Amazon. Six people have now been charged with cyberstalking—including sending the critics live cockroaches, a funeral wreath and a bloody-pig mask—and the U.S. attorney's office is investigating whether any other similar campaigns were carried out.
