As a consistent Googler I will find the absence of eBay's adword spamming a blessing.

BartendingBear, eBay is (was) one of the largest Adwords buyers, in turn Google was the largest source of traffic for eBay. A very calculated move I assume, it will be interesting how Google reacts.

I'm relieved. It's annoying to get a bunch of eBay crap in my google searches.
