"SEATTLE (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp. (NasdaqNM:MSFT - news) and eBay Inc. (NasdaqNM:EBAY - news) said on Monday that they would link software and Web data to make it easier for auction sellers to manage their auctions on eBay's marketplace Web site.
The effort between the world's largest software maker and largest online auctioneer will enable parts of Microsoft Office software to exchange real-time data with eBay's vast Web site, which allows buyers to bid on items posted by other sellers.
Debbie Brackeen, director of developers programs at eBay, said that the initiative by the two companies targets software developers who develop products and services based on eBay's online commerce platform."
