...Case study of eBay As an efficient and flexible sales channel, online auction businesses are becoming an internationally successful phenomenon. People can use auction sites as a market to conduct sales, to liquidate unwanted inventory, as well as to reaching markets that would otherwise be too expensive to reach. However, there are potential problems with feedback systems in the OAM, in other word, seller incentives to provide high quality products under the case of asymmetric information, for example buyers are not able to discern product quality prior to making their purchase decisions while sellers are aware of the quality of their product offerings, as a result dishonest or low-quality sellers will drive honest and high-quality sellers out of market. Obviously, beside the transaction cost of determining the required good is available on the market, which has the lowest price, there are other transaction costs within the online auction business for both sellers and buyers. From seller’s perspective, their decision on the which auction service to use are depended on following factors: cost of listing an auction item and the chance that a product will be sold. In the case of eBay and Yahoo!Auction, eBay charges sellers both listing fee and a percentage commission of the item sold. Yahoo!Auction, on the other hand, offers free listing. However, Yahoo!Auction suffers from a much lower successful transaction probability than eBay. Thus, a seller should trade off between balance...

...yDiscussion Questions 1. What are the key success factors for eBay? eBay is an efficient way to reach consumers and other businesses. Some also sees it as an opportunity to sell bulk lots of unsold inventory by helping buyers get the best price for their items and letting customers decide the price they want to pay for products, it had created a pricing revolution. eBay itself also doesn’t buy any inventory or own the products on its site. It earns its money by collecting a fee for the auction listing, plus commission when the sale is completed. Although it started from the auction site, it has also evolved to offer a fixed-price “buy it now” option to buyers who didn’t want to wait for an auction and were willing to pay the price set by the seller. Now, eBay is positioning itself as a global giant: part international swap meet, part clearing house for the world’s manufacturers and retailers. 2. Where is eBay Vulnerable? What should it watch out for? Although eBay is the largest online shopping site, it stills has to be aware of the changes/problems in technology as it is growing fast everyday. It also has to be aware of the credibility of the sellers; are they trusted enough to be selling on the site? In case anything happens, the site is going to pay for the damage losses. Sometimes, the consumers could change their buying patterns and priorities, so this is another thing the site should watch out for. More tricky problem, the owner should be updated in the changes...

...eBay was launched in 1995 as the first online auction by Pierre Omidyar with the intention of creating a person-to-person trading community based on a democratized, efficient market where everyone could have equal access through the same medium, the internet. The name eBay stood for “electronic Bay area” coined because Pierre’s initial concept was to attract neighbors and other interested San Francisco Bay area residents to the site to buy and sell items of mutual interest. eBay.com provided a venue for online sellers to auction or retail a wide variety of products ranging from computer parts, videos, books, movies, automotives and real estate to buyers from different locations. It brings together buyers and sellers every day on a local, national and international basis through a range of websites. It provides online marketplace for the sale of goods and services, as well as other online commerce, or ecommerce, platforms and online payment solutions to a diverse community of individuals and businesses. Effectively, eBay created a meeting place or community where different sellers and buyers can meet, exchange, trade and make business transactions with each other.

...What eBay has Done For The E-commerce Business? CITN120-Introduction to Networking If you’re a consumer looking to buy or sell an item or maybe catch a fantastic bargain, you have probably heard of eBay. The company’s founder Pierre Omidyar started his journey on September 3, 1995, as a simple home page and a broken laser pointer and created something that had never been done before. Pierre simply intended the listing on his web page of a broken laser pointer to be a test more than a serious offer to sell at auction. He was shocked when he received a response, “I’m a collector of broken laser pointers,” and sold the item for $14.83. When Pierre received this answer back he knew that he had created something big and transitioned from one of commerce, buying and selling things, to one of e-commerce, connecting people around the world together over the internet. In 1996 Pierre and his hand picked business team set out with their vision, which was to create the first online auction website for consumers to buy and sell their items. Since the start up, eBay has become the market leader and pioneer in the on-line auction industry and its brand name has become synonymous with e-commerce. eBay doesn’t actually sell any goods itself, it is simply a meeting place where the merchandise is sold and delivered by third party sellers that are not employed in any way by eBay. This unique e-commerce business gives sellers a place to reach buyers, and gives buyers access to the world’s...

...TARGET MARKET EBay has a very wide range of target marketing mainly because of the wide range of product available at it’s website. Millions of items like collectibles, appliances, computers, equipment and many more miscellaneous items are listed, bought or even sold on a daily basis. In other word, eBay generally target online auction and shopping communities. However, eBay also has business strategies to target specific segment of the market. From the entire wide range of items available, eBay originally was set up to promote and sell antique and collectibles. This causes eBay to focus more on this segment market. Another key market segment for eBay would be the car and motor enthusiast. This is because of the unexpected popularity with the users, which is the second most visited segment on the site. Due to this, eBay has been focusing more on these two segments as their primary market target. KEY SEGEMENTS Antiques & Collectibles Started out to be selling collectibles and antiques with auction-based online sales.

...the fabled "dot com bubble" and was influenced by many of the forces that made other technology and Internet IPOs so (in)famous. eBay's revenue growth was initially 30 percent or more year over year, making eBay one of the breakout winners of the dot com race. In recently, eBay growth has slowed year over year, then with an increasing proportion of overall growth coming from its payments business and an ongoing process of reorganization and strategic change coming to characterize the marketplace business. Some of the declines and difficulty in this latter sector are due to increasing competition from competitors, most notably Amazon.com and Google. In a few year back, economic conditions have also taken a toll, with revenue, profit, listing volume, and share price all falling through 2008 and into 2009 before something of a turnaround took hold on the strength of new strategic orientations both in core businesses and marketplace platform structure, pricing, and policy. The changes implemented during John Donahoe's tenure have proven to be controversial as shifts in rules and fees structures and an increased orientation toward high-volume, fixed-price retail channel selling have alienated portions of eBay's traditional community even as the competitive landscape around eBay stiffens. The recent turnaround in critical metrics was prefaced by a 2008 restructuring and a matching round of layoffs that appear to have served their purpose, at least for the moment. eBay's 2011 acquisition...
