I was interviewd 2 days ago for the article. Here is the only section they quoted me:
"Everybody's saying, 'What is holding back Yahoo from giving these sites a boost?,' because there's a financial benefit to them sending traffic to these websites,"
Here is a link to the article:

Interesting that auctions are mentioned.
Yahoo's new PFI&PPC model made no sense to me up to now - who could afford such prices?
But, if you're allowed to change the URL every few days, it could be a good tool to keep all your current eBay auctions in Yahoo.
Downside: lots and lots of eBay pages in the search results, soon.
