I checked EcommerceBytes close to when the story broke. There were some stories about eBay selling off business units, and some speculation they may sell more of their core business.
Pure speculation on my part: EcommerceBytes stories were hitting too close to home. Ebay isn't doing well and they decided EcommerceBytes was a front for another company (maybe Amazon) that was trying to hurt eBay's chance of survival.
