eBay is Starting to Show it’s Age
eBay, one of the biggest success stories of the dot.com era, is turning 11 years old. Economic experts say that’s about middle age for many Internet start-ups. As VOA’s Mil Arcega reports, some say the world’s largest online commerce company is starting to show its age.
eBay’s success is a testament to the economic power of the Internet. With more than 200 million members worldwide, eBay conventions can seem more like church revivals than business meetings.
Diane Bingham The enthusiasm comes from converts such as Diane Bingham, who says eBay changed her life. Bingham, a recovering alcoholic, started her antique business eight years ago with $20 and an old computer. “Our first year we made $30,000, which was a fortune for us. Then, we made four million last year and we’re projected to do six million this year.”
