Reply to "Important Announcement: Auctiva Has Been Acquired By Alibaba.com"

I am beyond blown away. I think we are all asking ourselves first, "What does this mean to me personally? How does this affect how I currently use Auctiva? Will this help me or hurt me?

Also, did Auctiva want this to happen or was it a takeover? Why would they want to sell to Alibaba? Are they going to combine their offerings with Vendio, since Alibaba now owns both? Auctiva was a competitor to Vendio and now they will be sharing data. Will this be a good thing? Maybe this will be eBay's worst nightmare as this union of 3 companies is positioned to further help eBay sellers but ultimately could they also strengthen the growing legions of sellers who have left eBay to sell elsewhere?

Are they now going to list items from Alibaba for sale on Elefy? Will this dilute our own listings? How will we compete?

It's all a bit much to sort out. Eek
