They get a big foot into Canada without the legal problems of going in themselves. I guess.

Godin could have wanted to give Nasdaq a try to see if he could get a higher valuation in any potential deal...OOPS!

Personally, Ebay rumor sounds like BS to me. But if we entertain the thought further, there is one strong reason why Ebay may want to acquire BIDS: Intellectual Property. What price do you put on having the exclusive rights to the Dutch Auction patent? At the current price levels, it would be a very cheap share swap to acquire this technology plus the existing BtoB and BtoC customer base, which is one area that Ebay has not ventured into.
