About eBay UK
eBay UK is the United Kingdom branch of the global online marketplace, eBay. Founded in 1995 in the United States by Pierre Omidyar, eBay is a platform where individuals and businesses can buy and sell a wide variety of goods and services worldwide. eBay UK operates similarly to the main eBay site but is customized for UK customers. It allows for purchasing of items either through a direct 'buy it now' option, or by auction-style bidding, where potential buyers place bids on items and the item is sold to the highest bidder at the end of the auction period. The items sold on eBay UK range from electronics, clothing, and household items to cars, property, and services. The sellers can be private individuals or businesses, and items can be new or used. eBay UK makes money by charging the sellers a fee for listing their items and also a final value fee, which is a percentage of the amount the item sells for. Some categories of items also require extra fees. Buyers, on the other hand, do not have to pay to use eBay. Like its parent company, eBay UK is committed to providing a safe environment for its users. It has various measures in place to protect both buyers and sellers, such as a money-back guarantee for buyers if their item doesn't arrive or isn't as described, and seller protection which shields sellers from loses resulting from buyers' fraudulent activities. Its mission is to be the world’s favorite destination for discovering great value and unique selection. It operates an ethical business model, and encourage responsible and sustainable shopping through initiatives such as eBay for Charity, which allows sellers to donate a portion of their sales to a charity of their choice.
