#2Sigh. They even had a business model, too. Disappointed.
Looking forward to Svpply either (a) being slowly destroyed, or (b) shut down all together so the team can work exclusively on eBay's awful site. Congrats in advance to the team on cashing out 12/24/48 months from now.

#3Anybody know how much? Congrats!

#4I interned at Skillshare up until late July, and we shared an office space with Svpply. They are a cool bunch of guys and they seemed to be working pretty hard this summer. I wish them the best at Ebay.
Is this the second NYC acquisition by ebay (the other I know of is Hunch)?

#5Zach Klein is killing it. Co-founder of Vimeo, founder of Svpply. He's been involved in lots of other cool gigs too. It's been really fun to follow along with his progress over the last few years. Tons of respect for the guy, and glad that he has done most of this outside of SV. Congrats on the sale!

When Salesforce.com acquired Heroku I was horrified that things were going to go downhill. Heroku has continued to get better and better as far as i'm concerned! Hopefully the trend of acquihires and product shutdown stops though.

#7I really like Svpply and I don't find myself using it so much. Maybe we'll see some nice integration with eBay, or possibly keep running as it is, either way congratulations to the team.
Looking forward to what's coming next.

There are definitely exceptions to the rule. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure eBay isn't one of them.

#9I am saddened that another small and awesome startup will be sucked into the bureaucratic conglomerate that is eBay/PayPal.
On the other hand, I am happy these guys got their payday. They built an awesome site and totally deserve it.
Here's to hoping that eBay doesn't screw up the site too badly...

#10Awesome news, both for Svpply and for Ebay which I see increasingly trying to be in Amazon's space.
