Selling Inside a Community
eBay isn’t the community that it once was thanks to its shifting emphasis in recent years. Nonetheless, eBay’s feedback system, its mechanisms for saving favorites (sellers, searches, listings), discussion boards, groups, answer center, and other similar features—and the flexibility that sellers have in creating listings and making buyer-seller discussions public—lend eBay a much more community-oriented feel. These features are what many (including CEO John Donahoe) mean when they refer to eBay as a “flea market” venue; there is always something happening on or around eBay beyond the mere clicking of “Buy” buttons and remitting of payments.
