The deal, which was being finalized late Wednesday, could be announced as soon as Thursday, when eBay is scheduled to release second-quarter financial results, the report said. EBay also plans to complete the spinoff of its PayPal payments unit on Friday.
The sale to the group, which includes private-equity firm Sterling Partners, could end up around $925 million, the report added, citing one of the people.
