Absolute Beginners Guide to eBayhas been updated with all the changes, upgrades, and enhancements that eBay has made over the past two years. Why does eBay remain such a popular topic? Its simple: eBay is the number-one online marketplace for both buyers and sellers, in both the online auction and fixed-price formats. And just because eBay itself is a decade old doesnt mean that everyone is already familiar with it. Every day thousands of new buyers and sellers start using eBay for the first time, andnbsp;need help understanding all the services and features. On any given day there are close to 45 million items listed for sale on the eBay site. For the year 2006, that added up to more than… $52 billion worth of merchandise sold from 2.3 billion merchandise listings -- or $1650 in sales every second. eBay currently has more than 222 million registered users, almost double the number of users just two years previous. And eBay continues to grow and change. eBay has significantly changed its "sell this item" listing process, revamped its picture hosting service, added a new Bid Assistant feature to help buyers find items to purchase, added My World personal pages, revamped its community forums, added user blogs, and launched the Kijiji online classifieds site. The company is in the process of launching a new home page, revamped My eBay pages, a new eBay Countdown feature to help monitor the end of auctions, and a refined search function.
