"One week after Jajah released its new embeddable buttons with a special version for eBay, the auction site deleted all listings that had the click-to-call buttons as an option for contacting the seller.  Jajah reports that several thousand eBay sellers added the buttons to their listings, indicating the useful nature of the VoIP option for buyers wanting additional information.  \neBay, however, has included in its terms and conditions that no links to live chats can be displayed on auctions.  There were reports that the two companies had worked out a deal for Jajah's buttons to be made available to eBay sellers, but this looks to not have been the case, which would be expected since eBay owns Jajah rival Skype.  Jajah has indicated that there was an agreement with eBay in order to do a trial run for the buttons. \nIs eBay being too strict with its terms?  Jajah seems to think that eBay should be more open with its options to users, which would include the allowance of live chat using VoIP.  Considering the type of business that eBay deals with, keeping things as private as possible has worked well, and was a necessity during the first dotcom era.  Will it continue to work so well now?  eBay is already looking to jump into the web 2.0 era with its recently launched desktop app run on AIR, and hopes to become more integrated in staple networks like MySpace. \n[via the register]"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
