Along with other third-party checkout systems? Believe there was some announcement to that effect at eBay Live. Anyone got more information or insight?

I've heard there was a announcement on Thursday at Live! that hasn't yet appeared on the Official announcements page at eBay. This is definitely a blow to eComm Store owners that also sell in conjunction with an eBay sale (add-on). I believe it's another case of wrong-headed thinking. I've made purchases off eBay in anticipation of add-on at the merchant's eComm Store for shipping discount. I won't do that, when I know I can get the same item direct. I honestly did it to get Feedback and be a good eBay citizen (Buy and Sell). However, Feedback to buyers is now meaningless, so that incentive is gone. The eComm Store owners probably won't place all their merchandise on eBay, so it's a double-negative to eBay (and they certainly are racking-up the negatives on my FB list).
