From February to July 2024, February was the month that had the most website traffic to ebay.com. The consumer-to-consumer (C2C) e-commerce website reached a total of over 693 million visits in that month, with the majority being from mobile devices. Popularity on multiple fronts Although eBay is popular on mobile devices, monthly downloads of its mobile app have been trending in the wrong direction since peaking in June 2020 at 5.16 million. Still, in April 2023, ebay.com was the second most popular e-commerce and shopping website worldwide, accounting for more than three percent of visits to sites in this category. Big numbers declining In the second quarter of 2023, eBay’s gross merchandise volume (GMV) amounted to nearly 18.2 billion U.S. dollars. That is no small number, but is only a small increase compared to the lowest GMV recorded by the company since the first quarter of 2020 - 17.7 billion U.S. dollars in the third quarter of 2022 - and that’s not the only figure on the decline for eBay. The e-commerce platform had approximately 138 million active buyers in the second quarter of 2022, and a year later that number was down 4.3 percent to 132 million.

The internet leaders: search, social, and e-commerce Social networks, search engines, and e-commerce websites shape the online experience as we know it. While Google leads the global online search market by far, YouTube and Facebook have become the world’s most popular websites for user generated content, solidifying Alphabet’s and Meta’s leadership over the online landscape. Meanwhile, websites such as Amazon and eBay generate millions in profits from the sale and distribution of goods, making the e-market sector an integral part of the global retail scene. What is next for online content? Powering social media and websites like Reddit and Wikipedia, user-generated content keeps moving the internet’s engines. However, the rise of generative artificial intelligence will bring significant changes to how online content is produced and handled. ChatGPT is already transforming how online search is performed, and news of Google's 2024 deal for licensing Reddit content to train large language models (LLMs) signal that the internet is likely to go through a new revolution. While AI's impact on the online market might bring both opportunities and challenges, effective content management will remain crucial for profitability on the web.

Online retail in a nutshell Online retail in the United States is a multi-billion dollar sector of business-to-consumer transactions where goods and services are sold via the internet.
