eBay to launch Google-style advertising system

"Michael van Swaaij, eBay's chief strategy officer, told a conference of software developers here on Saturday of plans to allow eBay's army of auctioneers to run contextual ads on other Web sites in exchange for a cut of the resulting eBay sales."

The system, called AdContext, is expected early next week.
