Google Testing Ebay Search?
On monday I discovered something interesting. Doing some searches at home I saw a new icon on Google search, right beside web, images and other links (pic below).
Unfortunately I did not get a screenshot of how the interface looks when you click on the icon. In essence it shows ebay items that correspond to the keywords you searched on Google, along with an option to search ebay directly.
The eBay icon showed for all the searches I did on Monday, between 9 pm and 12 pm, regardless of intent. It looks like Google was simply collecting data en masse and track people’s reactions.
The test also signifies that Google and Ebay are in a good partnership, which was sore few years ago, with ebay actually pulling all of its ads from Google and big G trying to steal talent form eBay.
