eBay

eBay began life as auction-only website AuctionWeb in 1995. In the early 2000s, eBay launched its virtual mall, allowing retailers to set up their own store. A ‘buy it now’ option was also introduced, allowing customers to either choose to bid, or end the auction early for a fixed price. Retail Week provides news, analysis, features and opinion about eBay and the marketplaces sector.
