Scout24 expresses interest in EBay's classifieds business

MUNICH (Reuters) - Scout24, the Germany-based autos and property marketplace, on Monday expressed an interest in acquisitions if EBay sells its classifieds business following pressure from activist investors to do so.

"That is a concrete example we are looking at," CEO Tobias Hartmann told journalists after Scout24 reported double-digit growth in revenue and profits last year.
