Democratise retail (again)
As well as letting you buy or sell almost anything, eBay.com shifted power away from big business and chain stores, back towards individuals.
For a while, we believed that anyone could become a retailer – until Amazon and Mr Bezos undid all that revolutionary work and clawed the money-back away from the people. Round 2 of this battle must commence soon… and this time, we could win.
It may happen (again) yet according to this article.
I remember when oil companies were hated this much. Now its digital overlords in the firing sights. Makes sense to dislike them I suppose.
Good idea and good point. Ebay’s days are numbered, Bezoz wants the lot.
