Risks

Niche e-commerce platforms like StockX and Poshmark may draw away eBay's customers.

Social media platforms with shopping features could divert traffic from eBay.

Direct-to-consumer brands bypassing marketplaces may reduce eBay's seller base.

Differentiation

eBay offers a unique auction-style listing alongside 'Buy It Now' options.

The platform provides robust buyer and seller protections, enhancing trust in transactions.

eBay's vast product selection includes new, refurbished, and second-hand items.

Upsides

eBay's acquisition of GSI Commerce strengthens its position as a global commerce partner.

The rise of social commerce offers eBay opportunities to integrate social shopping features.

Increased focus on sustainability aligns with eBay's refurbished and second-hand product categories.
