EBay is in talks with several candidates for a potential sale of its classified-ads business.

EBay expects an update regarding this process by mid-2019.

On Friday, it was reported that eBay has been reaching out to potential buyers for the sale of its classified-ads business.

The business may be worth roughly $10 billion.

Activist shareholder Starboard approached the eBay board with a letter saying that eBay has not made adequate progress on its plan to be taking the step of separating its classifieds business.
