In case bidding isn't exciting enough...

From "eBay to offer community gaming section" on Netimperative:

eBay is to launch a new service that allows its members to compete in online skill games for cash prizes.

The online auctioneer has partnered with SkillJam, a gaming subsidiary of Fun technologies, to offer its users a selection of multiplayer skill games.

Starting in October, SkillJam will offer a selection of co-branded games on eBay, which will be advertised within relevant areas of eBay's online marketplace.

For example, a user looking to buy a chess board may see a pop up inviting them to play a game of online chess on eBay's gaming section.

I'll give you $10 for your knight on d6. What do you say?
