They've averaged ~13% growth year over year since 2008, doing 16 billion last year. Not sure what your metric is but I hardly think that qualifies as, "worst run brands ever."
- fringe01 13y agoThis astonishes me. I can't think of any good reason for this except for lack of competition. Among everyone I know almost no one ever buy stuff of ebay anymore and the only people I can think of who use it are mostly scammers.
- woobar 13y agoI think it is a great place to get: 1. Cheap crap from Taiwan 2. Random appliances parts (when something breaks and all you have is a part number) without giving your credit card to some Chinese or yet another made-in-90ties warehouse website.
- JoeAltmaier 13y agoSo, an app that lets you buy anonymously? Brilliant! Really! Just give your payment info to one site that you trust (because its all about trust and nothing else); they buy (maybe in bulk; maybe at a price break) FOR you. What exists like this now? What market would be best served by this? Is your app in to YC yet?
- jedrek 13y agoWell it's a good thing you're not an eBay stockholder. I use it probably a dozen times a year to buy hard to find stuff. Stop thinking the world is you and your friends times a billion.
- Spooky23 13y agoI probably misstated what I was intending to say -- I'm talking about the eBay marketplace. The company has growth being driven by things like Paypal, enterprise storefronts and subsidiary brands abroad.
