After completing my analysis of eBay, I have come to several conclusions that I would like to share with you. First, I will outline the problems that eBay and the rest of the online auction industry will face in the future. Then I will discuss my analysis and evaluation of eBay within the industry. Finally, I will conclude with some specific recommendations that eBay should take advantage of in the future.
The online auction industry is a huge market, but the growth is slowing down. In 1999, U.S. e-commerce revenue accounted for 65% of the total amount. In 2003, it had declined to only 38%. It is becoming more and more saturated with new entrants due to the low entry barriers.
