...well they must be desperate for revenues  ;D

This should reallllllly help sellers.

Quote:eBay is to launch a new service that allows its members to compete in online skill games for cash prizes.

The online auctioneer has partnered with SkillJam, a gaming subsidiary of Fun technologies, to offer its users a selection of multiplayer skill games.

Starting in October, SkillJam will offer a selection of co-branded games on eBay, which will be advertised within relevant areas of eBay’s online marketplace. 

For example, a user looking to buy a chess board may see a pop up inviting them to play a game of online chess on eBay’s gaming section. 

Users will be required to pay an as yet unspecified fee to play the games online, which give them the opportunity to win prizes.
"Well, Jay was so giddy that someone named Jay was involved with this site we posted our first non-eBay listing in 3 years here at Lunarbid (we tried two items at Yahoo once upon a time, they bombed)" -Marie posting in a LunarBid thread at OTWA in 2005 wins the award for 'most moronic reason ever given for choosing a venue"

"thanks twat u must have nothing better 2 do. do u talk to all your members like that. will not be recomending your site.
best way to put it is TULIPTOOLS.COM IS REALLY SHIT. DONT JOIN." -pubescent owner of rinky dink off2auction.com in 2011

Re: eBay, Desperate for Revenues, to add Community Games Section
May see a pop up???  OH boy, my favorite thing . . . popups. 

So, let's distract buyers by inviting them to come and play games instead of shopping.  All of this paid through sellers' fees. 

Thanks eBay . . . .oh wait, what was I thinking?  This doesn't effect me, because I don't list there anymore. Toothy9
