eBay operates a global online marketplace where individuals and businesses can buy and sell a diverse range of goods, including both new and used items. The platform facilitates transactions by allowing sellers to list their products for a fee and earn money through sales, while buyers can browse and purchase items from around the world. eBay generates revenue through listing fees, transaction fees, and advertising services that enhance seller visibility. Unlike many competitors, eBay emphasizes transparency regarding user data and privacy, and it provides tools like an AI-powered shopping assistant to enhance the shopping experience. The company's goal is to empower sellers, particularly small businesses and women-owned enterprises, by helping them reach international markets and promoting social initiatives such as eBay for Charity.
