eBay
edit

eBay is an online auction site where people buy and sell goods worldwide. Any item can be sold online as long as it is not illegal or it does not violate eBay’s Prohibited and Restricted Items policy.

eBay items can be sold either via a silent auction, in which users input the maximum price they are willing to pay and for which the site will automatically increase bids as necessary up to that maximum, or via “Buy it now,” with which they purchase items at a set price.

eBay generates revenue by charging various fees for its service. The auction service (US version) charges the seller $0.20 to $0.80 per listing and up to 12% of the final price. In addition, advertisements may also appear on the website pages.

eBay products and companies include eBay Marketplace, Media Marketplace, Skype, PayPal, half.com, MicroPlace, Shopping.com, Rent.com, Stubhub and various online classifieds.
