eBay is tied to the internet-commerce sector, and their industry is in the top 24%. The internet-commerce sector is very competitive with Amazon (AMZN - Free Report) and Alibaba (BABA - Free Report) being global giants in the online retail marketplace. eBay’s competitive edge is their platform allows individuals to mom and pop operations to sell items through an auction system while other online retailers sell items like a normal store.
