 Online retailer Buy.com Inc. wants to compete with eBay Inc. This week it introduced Garage Sale, a web page-based widget that enables consumers to sell their own goods directly on Facebook social networking pages. Buyers can purchase merchandise on the web pages without having to leave those pages to complete a transaction.

“Garage Sale allows consumers to become personal online retailers using the backing of a major Internet company like Buy.com,” says Neel Grover, president and CEO. “With this embedded e-commerce capability, we see tremendous growth opportunities in providing the millions of users on business and social networks with an alternative to eBay and the ability to transform their personal profile pages beyond information-sharing.”

I can't believe no one has commented on this thread. Mind you, I'm playing catch-up on all the threads. Whew, tons of reading I missed.

So, has anyone used this new site yet?

OK, which of these comparison companies did eBay buy last year ?? I thought it WAS Buy.com. But it wouldn't be the first time eBay competed with itself either.
