Sotheby's Teams With eBay
from the from-one-e-commerce-giant-to-another dept
It was just a few years ago that Sotheby's teamed up with Amazon.com to try to take on eBay. That partnership ended in disaster a while back, so I guess this is a case of "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" as Sotheby's has teamed up with eBay to bring more expensive items to eBay, and more people to Sotheby's. I wonder if this relationship will work any better than the Amazon one.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
