What went wrong with eBay? I remember getting my first gaming console--a gameboy SP during the mid 2000s from the site. We did something like buy-it-now, essentially an early Amazon. While the rest of tech rushes forward, they seem to be forever stuck... Right now I'd say StubHub occupies a bigger slice in the consumer mindshare.
- SXX 8y agoStubHub is owned by eBay though.
- masonic 8y agoWhich is why eBay sabotages ticket sales on eBay by dumping thousands of StubHub "classified ads" in the tickets category so that genuine listings can't be found among the chaff. You can't even exclude the StubHub ads from your eBay search results. If a buyer buys direct on eBay from a seller, eBay gets about 10%. If it sells on StubHub, eBay gets 33-65%.
