eBay unveils Irish site
The online market website eBay has officially launched a dedicated site for Irish buyers and sellers.
Ebay.ie will specifically list items of interest to Irish people, displaying prices for items across the globe in euro.
The company, which has 200,000 registered members in Ireland, has 800 on the payroll at its European Customer Support and PayPal headquarters in Blanchardstown, Dublin.
Ireland managing director David Jesse told : “With 10 years of experience, eBay is excited to enter the Irish market and plans to deliver a marketplace as vibrant, fun and trusted as every other market.”
There are more than 200,000 registered eBay community members in Ireland so the time is right to create a dedicated site.
Founded by US engineer Pierre Omidyar in 1995, eBay has more than 147 million registered users, 50,000 categories and 50 million items available at any time worldwide.
The launch did its bit for charity, raising funds for DEBRA Ireland, which supports those with Epidermolysis Bullosa, a rare genetic skin disorder.
