Commercial Advertising on Site

I've just noticed that there are commercial advertisements showing up on the site pages. Why has eBay resorted to this method of gaining income?

Commercial Advertising on Site

To make money. Just as they do from all the listings you have been seeing here.

EBay is "just a venue".

You don't buy anything from eBay, you can only buy it through eBay.

This is unlike, say, Amazon, which completes directly with the sellers it also rents space to.

 

You can rid yourself of many of these by using Adblock.
