eBay operates as an online marketplace where individuals and businesses can buy and sell a wide variety of products, including electronics, cars, fashion, and collectibles. The platform allows users to engage in auction-style listings, where buyers can place bids, as well as a 'Buy It Now' option for immediate purchases at a fixed price. eBay stands out from its competitors by offering a vast selection of items, a user-friendly interface, and strong protections for both buyers and sellers. The company generates revenue primarily through transaction fees charged to sellers, along with advertising fees and subscription services for premium features. eBay's goal is to connect millions of buyers and sellers globally, making it easier for them to transact and find the products they need.
