The untold origin story of eBay that I lived (2018)
It’s funny how Amazon feared eBay, and then failed to beat them — in 1999.But when I worked at eBay in 2003, they had the mailroom put a sticker on every amazon box that said “Next time get it on eBay!”And now the tide is swinging back a bit as people get fed up with fakes and commingling at Amazon. At least with eBay you know the product you’re getting is actually from the seller you bought it from.
