AOL in talks with EBAY:: Wednesday's Top Stories America Online in talks with eBay Compiled by CBS MarketWatch Last Update: 5:31 AM ET Feb 17, 1999 NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- America Online Inc. (AOL) is in talks with eBay Inc. about developing a closer business relationship. According to The Wall Street Journal, this could include AOL acquiring a minority stake in eBay, which is an online-auction company. Analysts see two big attractions of eBay for AOL. One is plenty of lot of traffic and another is the ability to actually hold users' interest for more than a few seconds. Since going public in September, eBay's stock has soared to more than 10 times its initial value, giving the company a market capitalization of $9.5 billion. That means that a 10% stake in eBay would cost $950 million, even without an acquisition premium. A 25% stake would cost $2.4 billion or more.

The Wall Street Journal European Union raids banks in euro probe BRUSSELS (CBS.MW) -- Inspectors from the European Commission raided eight major European banks Tuesday which are suspected of conspiring to fix charges relating to transactions in the new European single currency, the euro. According to the Financial Times, the raids were the culmination of an investigation by the Commission, the E.U.'s 15-nation executive, into allegations that banks have been ripping off consumers by not passing on savings gained from the elimination of exchange rate risks. "We believe there may be an understanding between the banks not to compete. We will see what our fishing reveals," Karel Van Miert, the EU competition commissioner told the Financial Times.
