Celebrating 25 Years of Selling on eBay
Besides getting asked what I sell, people ask me how long I’ve sold on eBay. My 25th eBay Anniversary is today, July 6, 2023. That’s a long time! eBay has gone through so much change during that time and so has the world at large. Most of us purchase things online almost every single day, without giving it much thought at all. It wasn’t always like that!
I remember the first things I sold online: a piece of Bee Gees sheet music for $2, I believe. Crazy, huh? The buyer then sent me a money order he purchased from the US Post Office, put it in an envelope, added a postage stamp (33¢), and dropped it in the mailbox. A couple of days later, I received it from my post office box and made a deposit into my checking account. I packed the sheet music up in a manilla envelope with 2 pieces of cardboard surrounding it, so it would get bent, I mailed it off to the buyer. Oh, I forgot to say that I stood in line in order to ship it. After a few more days, the parcel arrived at the buyer’s door and maybe they left feedback, or maybe they didn’t. It was all so new! I was hooked.
Lots of Changes Over Time
I began to things I accumulated, mostly movie, music, or sports memorabilia of some kind most likely. The other part I remember is that I printed out the email notification that there was a winner for my eBay auction. How things have changed. I no longer print any notifications. I no longer receive money orders. I no longer stand in line at the bank or post office. It’s all done online.
In fact, my favorite tool for shipping is my Rollo Thermal Printer. It 4×6″ prints labels without using ink. What a money saver. Have you tried one of these little printers? I highly suggest getting one if you need to print postage at home or work! It can be done directly on the eBay site!

eBay Keeps Evolving!
eBay grew over time! Auctions are no longer the mainstay of its sales. It is truly a global online selling platform. For those of you who have been living under a rock, let me give you a quick summary of what eBay is.
eBay is an American e-commerce company based in San Jose. Founded in 1995 by Pierre Omidyar, it operates in approximately 32 countries and manages an online auction and shopping website where people and businesses can buy and sell goods and services. Buyers can use the website for free, but sellers are charged fees for listing items after a limited number of free listings, as well as an additional fee when those items are sold.
eCommerce Success
The company is a notable success story of the dot-com bubble and is currently valued at billions of dollars. Its website facilitates consumer-to-consumer and business-to-consumer sales, making it a popular platform for online commerce worldwide.
As of late 2022, there are now over 135 million currently active on eBay! Here are more stats on eBay’s revenue and growth. Not surprising is the fact that most of the purchases on eBay are made by mobile phones or pads. And most of the buyers are from the United States. This information comes from Capital One Shopping Reports, 2023.
As a seller and buyer myself, I’ve seen many changes. Buyers still want to purchase collectibles! Sellers still want to clear stuff out. It is a win-win when the buyer=seller connection happens. I get a thrill with every purchase AND payment when a sale is made!
