Is Google Irritating Ebay?

Google just recently let everyone have a sneak peak at a classified service they may soon start for FREE.
As Yahoo reported, Google made a statement after teasing everyone with their BETA test of the classified service: “We are testing new ways for content owners to easily send their content to Google.” Does anyone else see the consistent recurring word, “content?”
Google has made it clear that they are working on a “forum-like” service where you can list/sell your products/services free of charge. To those of you who know what “craigslist” is - imagine a craigslist that is owned by Google! (Craigslist is a free classified site with lots of traffic - I’ve sold/bought many things there).
Google also announced that they are working on an online payment system, but they *swear* it will not compete with Ebay’s Paypal (I for some reason am not convinced, I think they are going head straight for anything owned by Ebay).
Bottomline, Google pretty much owns the SEs now, why not move into other areas - this will be interesting to watch…
