Blogs will be free and each eBay Blog will have a URL like http://blogs.ebay.com/userID. Bloggers can specify "search tags" which are essentially keywords that will help blogs on a particular topic, e.g. Coke memorabilia, show up on relevant eBay searches. And of course, eBay blogs will include RSS feeds. More information on the upcoming features can be found in eBay's help pages: About eBay Blogs and About the eBay Wiki.

Sounds great in theory:) I would personally like to see Ebay make seperate auction sites that would focus on particular communities instead integrating an already too large one.

Wow this is great news. Any system that can take a sale from ebay and give money back to the users is a great system. Why dose a company like ebay need to have such a high amount of control over its members transactions ?
