Integration eBay by API

The main field of activity of the American company eBay is services in the field of online auctions. Today it is already hard to believe that its activities began with a small AuctionWeb resource, and the first product sold was a laser pointer, which previously belonged to the site's founder, programmer Pierre Omidyar. AuctionWeb was founded in 1995 and quickly became popular. And if at the very beginning of its activity the number of visitors was in the tens, then by the end of 1995, thousands of auctions were already held on it. In 1997, the site received its current name, which comes from the Echo Bay Technology Group, the name of a consulting company that Omidyar already owned by that time. A year later, an initial public offering took place. Today, sellers from all over the world list their products on eBay. The company itself acts as an intermediary in concluding a transaction, not participating in payment and delivery, but providing the opportunity to trade any goods. Without exaggeration, on this service you can buy almost anything. You can sometimes find very interesting goods, as well as all kinds of rarities and unique items - in fact, there are real legends about some lots. A fee is charged from sellers, while participation in the auction is completely free for buyers. And although the idea of online auctions is gradually becoming obsolete and all kinds of marketplaces are beginning to rule the world of e-commerce, eBay is still very popular among users, being the most famous company operating in this field.
