IWOV woulda been sweet young man... OK, Le French, like 'em or hate 'em. They gave us the Statue of Liberty and we gave them Jerry L. Well now we are giving them something more, be prepared... Tomorrow morning, eBay will be launching ebayfrance.com -- its first French site. After the tremendous success of Ebay's original launch, the online auction company has been rapidly expanding its service in country-specific sites throughout Germany, the UK, Canada, Australia, Japan...and now France. With ebayfrance, French users will be able to trade locally as well as worldwide, (a community of 15.8 million registered users). And as an incentive, ebayfrance will be waiving its normal listing fees for a short time. You may remember last month, when Amazon launched its own French connection -- Amazon.fr. Some are speculating, that eBay's and Amazon's service are quite complimentary and could lead to a merger of the two. Le blah blah blah
