I agree that Webmasters Universe is probably the best place for this considering the subjects that are covered here.

This was a very smart move by eBay. Among other things is a competitor since eBay does ticket trade through its standard auctions. I have found that StubHub grossed around four $400 million in sales last year (2006).

There are many other ticket reseller, but StubHub is different than most of them because it actually has relations with the major professional sports teams as well as a number of college sports organizations.

In this case eBay is buying a company with a proven business model and it fits into what eBay is all about.
