MARKETING ASPECTS OF
The company's current business strategy includes increasing international trade. eBay has already expanded to over two dozen countries including China and India. The only places where expansion failed were Taiwan and Japan, where Yahoo! had a head start, and New Zealand where TradeMe, owned by the Fairfax media group is the dominant online auction website. A more recent strategy involves the company increasingly leveraging the relationship between the eBay auction site and PayPal: The impact of driving buyers and sellers to use PayPal means not only does eBay turn buyers into clients (as a pure auction venue its clients used to be predominantly sellers) but for each new PayPal registration it achieves via the eBay auction site it also earns offsite revenue when the resulting PayPal account is used in non-eBay transactions. In its Q1 2008 results, total payment volume via PayPal increased 17 percent, but off the eBay auction site it was up 61 percent.

Its main auction model is slowing as ebay faces maturity = to achieve growth, it will have to do so not with its auction site but its acquisitions such as Paypal and eBay. Stiffer competition particularly abroad = early this year, eBay had to scrap seller transaction fees in China due to significant competition from Alibaba.com. Even in Korea, Yahoo is aggressively challenging eBay Sellers are looking for other (cheaper) channels to sell their products = ebay's fees are continuously rising, and sellers are looking for ways to sell their items. They are flocking to ebay's competitors or creating their own ecommerce site Competition from Google = Google has developed GBuy or Google Checkout, which is its main challenge to Paypal.
eBay has changed dramatically in the past decade. What began as a small online marketplace for collectibles has grown to cover a wide array of mid to upscale markets and person-to-person sales that span the globe. In the old days, an eBay seller could write up a quick description of an item, take a few digital photos, upload the info to eBay, and wait for bids to come in. Those of us who were selling on eBay in the early days found that it was easy money.
