(NasdaqNM:YHOO - news) and online auction site eBay Inc. (NasdaqNM:EBAY - news) are in talks regarding a possible alliance or merger, cable network CNBC reported on Tuesday, citing people close to the discussions. The network said the two companies were discussing various forms of a partnership, although no deal was imminent. A source close to the talks said there was a 50-50 chance of a ``deep partnership' between eBay and Yahoo, with a ``significantly ' smaller chance that Yahoo would buy eBay outright, CNBC said.

Shares of eBay were trading at 235 on Instinet in after-hours trade, following its close of 211 on the Nasdaq stock market.
