1. Lets see what Clare Gilmartin says about eBay
Managing Director, eBay UK and Greater Europe
2. eBay has morphed into a super-sized
retailer, with 70pc of its business
now selling new stock
3. The site attracts 60m unique users a
month in Europe, 19m in the UK, and
now accounts for one in two of all
online shoppers here.
4. eBay has been on the frontline of the
tax row after it emerged that it paid
just £1.2m of corporation tax in the
UK, despite sales of £800m in 2010.
~ Of Course Clare didn't say this
5. Unlike Amazon, eBay doesn’t stock
own inventory, eBay is a marketplace
for others to sell – consumers, small
businesses and big retailers. The total
of eBay sales is the total of their sales.
6. Small firms have joined in
droves, particularly since the recession
– numbers have jumped from 120,000
to 200,000 small traders in a few years
