Italy ranks number three in European Internet usage with 13.42 million
active users, according to industry report EuropeProfile. While the country's online spending traditionally falls below that of the United Kingdom and
Germany, an upward trend has been seen in recent months, capped by 191
million Euros in holiday spending at the end of 2000. It is Italy's
continuous growth of usage and online buying that stimulated eBay to focus
its expansion to the Mediterranean peninsula.
Already, according to an eBay spokesperson, thousands of Italians are
enthusiastic eBay users -- some even making a living selling products and
services on the web platform. eBay Italy will offer many of the same
features that have made the company a success around the world: categories
and content built around collectibles and other popular items, chat boards
that allow the local community to connect online, and in-language customer
support. eBay Launches Chinese Classifieds Website - ChinaTechNews.com :: eBay (EBAY) has formerly announced its launch of online classifieds Web in more than 50 cities in Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan. http://www.chinatechnews.com/2005/03/11/2535-ebay-launches-chinese-classifieds-website/HOME |
