I’ve read a few articles suggesting that the “fun” of eBay is gone, and that other sites like Youtube, Craigslist and even MySpace are to blame for this, what a bunch of idiots.
Sure to a certain extent you could say that people are using Youtube more than eBay daily, maybe because Youtube is more interactive with funny videos, music and more. But eBay is just a one purpose website. So how does the correlation between eBay and any of these sites even make sense? It doesn’t. It’s all traffic relevance only, not purpose relevance.
eBay is far from dead, it serves it’s purpose quite well. Although I don’t find myself using it twice daily or even to kill time at work – I still go to it first before any other site when I want to buy something like a used or new iPod or laptop. eBay is still a site where you can get cheap bargains.
Ebay.com has an Alexa Traffic Rank of 21 which still indicates that it has strong web presence – even though Alexa is only an approximation of traffic the site is getting, so it’s theoretically doing well still in my opinion.
eBay might be losing traffic, but it has a niche and I think eBay will rise and reinvent itself sometime in 2010 when it will become more widely used and relevant again.
