eBay to Stop Advertising Inside Mobile Apps: “It’s Not Worth It.”

Sounds like what they're specifically stopping here is selling ad space inside their eBay app. Which makes sense -- they already make money off the app by getting more people to buy stuff on eBay; running ads in the app is just a distraction, and I'm surprised they were doing that in the first place.

Now, if they were stopping buying mobile ads, that'd be bigger news. But that doesn't seem to be what they're talking about.
