eBay

Sri Lanka, April 24 -- ebay is the premier auction site founded by Pierre Omidyar in 1995.

The number of users exceeds 200 million. It has been reported that people spend more time on eBay than any other internet site. There are more than 20 million users in the UK alone. eBay is far from just a second-hand stall. New items are sold daily by global companies; many people have abandoned their jobs to work for eBay full time which again explains the changing lifestyle of a consumer and the opportunity that the internet provides for employment. Danahue who runs this business today is now working with department store owners so that a consumer of today can visit a virtual reality store be it Macy's or M&S and can have access to their special offers without physically stepping into the store. This is real change of behaviour to my mind.
