EBAY TO MARKET ITS E-COMMERCE 'OPERATING SYSTEM' 
EBay has a new goal -- to become the "operating system" for e-commerce 
on 
the Web. It's licensing its eBay API (for eBay application programming 
interface) technology, a system that makes it easy for any Web site that 
wants to add auctions to its offerings to subscribe to "syndicated" 
listings for various categories of items. The items will still be listed 
and sold on the eBay site, and third-party sites won't receive any of 
the 
revenue, but the concept may appeal to e-commerce sites that want to 
give 
users more shopping options without building their own stores. (Wall
