AFAIK, ebay don't use GA although most of the web do. GA is I'm sure largely to help with their advertising business. That is useful because it gives website owners (who choose to use it) analytics.

Do you have evidence that they use their trove of personal data about you to improve spam filtering? No other email provider on the planet has the same amount of data, and they manage to filter out spam. > AFAIK, ebay don't use GA although most of the web do. eBay was an example, but my point was more about, if you used Google Pay on a shopping site. > That is useful because it gives website owners (who choose to use it) analytics. That isn't beneficial to the person whose data they hold, it's detrimental, and fucking creepy.
