eBay, Microsoft form strategic alliance

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA: Internet auction leader eBay Inc., looking for ways to grow in a tough time for online companies, is forming a strategic alliance with Microsoft Corp. that could help each company extend its reach. The partnership announced on Monday calls for Microsoft to incorporate eBay's auctions into some MSN Web sites, such as the Carpoint auto-shopping service and bCentral service for small businesses. As part of the arrangement, eBay will encourage its members to use the Microsoft Passport service, which lets people type one name and password to automatically log in to several different web sites.
