    Yahoo Partners With Ebay

    Soon you can choose to get your YPN earnings paid into your PayPal account. YPN ads will also start showing up on eBay. This should give Yahoo a good revenue boost. Time perhaps to invest in some Yahoo stocks? :) Sources: eBay and Yahoo in Joint Bid to See Off Google,
