Universal Australia launch eBay portal
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 6 May 2009
Universal Music Australia has launched a portal on eBay through which users can buy or stream tracks from the major’s catalogue. Which doesn’t sound very eBay-ish to me, where’s the bidding? Presumably the major hope to cash in on the auction site’s high traffic to flog music-related products. The eBay portal is powered by Universal’s GetMusic website, which also carries music from Sony I think.
Confirming the service, Universal Music Australia MD George Ash told reporters: “Music is one of the highest searched topics on the web and the opportunity to help eBay.com.au connect their members with their favorite acts, is without precedent”.
