Overview
Launched in 1995, eBay started as a place to trade collectables and hard-to-find items. Today eBay is a global marketplace where businesses and individuals can buy and sell practically anything. With more than 200 million registered users buying and selling millions of products in over 50,000 categories, eBay has become part of our culture. Many people have purchased products on eBay, but millions more would become sellers if they knew how easy and how profitable it can be.
