(IX) eBay

eBay is one of the earliest e-commerce platforms to enter India. The platform has a wide variety of products, and consumers can choose to buy new or second-hand products according to their needs, all at very favorable prices. In recent years, with the rapid development of local e-commerce in India and the entry of more and more foreign e-commerce brands, eBay India has gradually lost its advantage as the first to enter the market. Under the strong attack of Amazon and Walmart, it was finally overwhelmed and closed its business in the Indian market in mid-2018. However, in the second half of 2018, eBay adjusted its strategy and planned to reopen the Indian site in 2019 (it had not been fully implemented before the publication of this book).
