Yahoo Merging with Ebay?

[adonis]

I read the possibility of Yahoo merging with Ebay, I think there is a good synergistic relationship between the one and the both can help each other. What's your opinion on this issue?

It makes sense,
This would not be an acquisition, but neither would it really be a merger of equals. eBay has the bigger market cap (~$44B to ~$31B) -- the gap between the two has grown over the past month --
The fact that eBay would control so much more of the new company might be unattractive for Yahoo! shareholders, but the merger would still be beneficial to both companies, in my view.
