After more than 10 years in operation, Ebay india was shut down in August 2018
Before Flipkart, Amazon became popular in India, Ebay was the most popular selling platform in India
The auctions on ebay were particularly popular
It was an excellent way of selling low value items, getting feedback
However due to google, tata policy of only letting frauds flourish online in India since 2010, has greatly increased online fraud in India. Many online business owners find that their profit has greatly reduced
Ebay was sold to Flipkart, and after some time, Flipkart shut it down
Month: August 2018
Ebay.in was popular for selling indian notes and coins
The shutting down of Ebay.in adversely affected many indians who were using it for selling indian currency notes and coins. Ebay.in was the only reliable platform in India for selling indian currency notes and coins, there is almost no other website in India for selling the coins and notes.
According to some sources, selling indian currency notes is not legal, however selling coins is legal.
Currency notes containing the lucky number 786 were extremely popular on Ebay
Other number series like 999999 were also popular. Some of the sellers were extremely professional in their listing and had a large number of rare currency notes. Demonetized currency notes were also being sold on Ebay.in, now they can be only sold at Ebay.com
Most of the sellers on Ebay, were able to find buyers for their currency notes if the notes were reasonably priced.
It would be interesting to find out, if there is any alternative platform developed for selling the currency notes and coins in India.
