The 18-25 August, Asian edition of Business Week has a great article on eBay's incredible growth and its strategies for maintaining that momentum. 30 million people will buy and sell over $20 billion in merchandise which is more than the gross domestic product of all but 70 of the world's countries. Three key trends emerge from eBay's strategy. (1) Investment in complementary services to make buying & selling easier. This has included acquiring international sites that now contribute 30% of transaction revenues, buying PayPal to improve payment security and establishing eBay University around the country to teach people how to use the site. (2) Attracting big business like Motorola. Over 150,000 people make a full-time living from buying & selling on eBay but few large businesses have used it as a sales & marketing channel. (3) Combat fraud which is both a real and a perception problem. The investment in PayPal is a step in the right direction. In addition, the Trust & Safety department has been recently established with a staff of several hundred employees. Getting serious on eBay Hammertap have developed a range of software and services around achieving better online auction results. The site includes useful and some free tools including BayCheck to check out any eBay user and HammerSnipe PowerTool to place last-second online auctions bids. Their flagship is DeepAnalysis which allows you to extract and analyze sales data and statistics for any eBay market sector. I'm not sure why this hasn't been developed before but is essential as individuals and businesses use eBay as a serious sales channel. Regards, ray@raymond-tse.com www.raymond-tse.com | ||
