Weird things sold on eBay
eBay is the world’s largest online marketplace, with literally hundreds of millions of live listings at any given moment in time. The fledgling company was founded in 1995 by a computer programmer and now has over 15,000 employees. eBay is a global company and is extremely broad in the scope of its services, whereby anyone can trade practically anything!
The majority of goods sold on eBay are at a fixed price rather than auction. eBay has millions of registered users worldwide, with millions of new listings added every day.
eBay has become a primary or secondary source of income for many sellers, who use it to make a living. It is great for recycling old goods and keeping items out of landfill sites. A great way of making some spare cash is to sell your old clutter on eBay – you will be amazed at what people will buy!
