eBay Prepares to Drop .NET Services
6 Comments
One day after eBay sent an e-mail reminding users that .NET Passport sign-in was coming to an end, the auction giant sent another notice Thursday stating that .NET Alerts would be discontinued January 24. This brings to an end a four year partnership between eBay and Microsoft for its .NET services.
In the e-mail, eBay urged its .NET Alert users to sign up for the company's own wireless alerts, or the eBay Toolbar. The toolbar includes a .NET alert-like feature that will send a notification when an item a user is watching or bidding on is about to end, or if the user is outbid.
