It almost sounds like Donahoes already got the support of eBays board of directors if he decides to make a move, since the CEO then stated, When I feel the business will be better off separately, well do what we did with Skype.

And eBays stock is up 1.13 percent in premarket trading, which might indicate shareholder approval.What do you make of this development? Let us know in the comments section below.One last thing to note is that Donahoe didnt hint at any sort of timeframe, so whether hes thinking about the long term or initiating a sale next month is hard to say.
