What will eBay buy after AfterBuy.com? «

eBay has acquired ViA-Online GmbH, a leading auction management software company in Germany that operates Afterbuy.com.
One blogger has speculated that the Afterbuy.com acquisition signals a new eBay strategy to earn more revenue per transaction by owning the listing and auction management process.
Is this eBay's new strategy, or is AfterBuy a one-off?

Ebay already has 3 products of it's own, I am not sure how this 4th one will work out. I would imagine that the cost of developing one for Ebay Germany might have been much more than just buying a ready made one, I don't honestly see any strategic move, rather a tactical one !!
