Black Friday Sales 2012

Revenues have risen once again through the first half of the year for Ebay, but the number of listings are down leading many people to question if there are some real issues under the surface that Ebay needs to address.

The growth of the Internet has created a far more competitive marketplace for online auctions and storefronts lessening Ebay’s domination in the early days of the Internet.  It seems like anywhere you look there are auctions for anything you could ever need or want.  Amazon, Yahoo and many others have joined in the game and have severed Ebay’s market share. 

Ebay is still the authority for online auctions, and with a tweak in their marketing plan there is no reason that they can’t start drawing in new customers.
