Just a few days after Google launched a massive protest against the online auction giant eBay claiming the company is blocking their Google’s online payment system Google Checkout in an unfair move to maintain the dominance of eBay’s Paypal payment system. However eBay showed Google that they don’t really want to mess with them and they chose the wrong people to pick a fight with. In an innocent move masked as an advertisement budget test, eBay removed all their paid advertisements from Google’s network. This seemingly unrelated event made Google realizing they have more to loose by going against eBay than they can gain. In addition to loosing the advertising dollars (from one of their top advertisers), Google also fears this money will go to their competitors giving them a nice boost in their competition against Google.
