It’s crazy to think that it’s been 20 years since the first auction on eBay (then AuctionWeb). 20 years! So much has happened since then when it comes to the internet. eBay created a market of buyers and sellers, much like the two predominant domain name marketplaces (Sedo and Afternic) did. Here are a couple take-aways from this: 1. Creating a market is hard. A lot of people gripe about paying 20% commissions to Sedo and Afternic. ... read more ...
