eBid was founded in December of 1998 by Gary Sewell and Mark Wilkinson. These two stockbrokers decided that they would start an eBay like auction business in the U.K. since, at that time, eBay was not operating in Europe.
eBid allows sellers in 23 countries to make listings to buyers in more than 100 countries. The company uses its own payment service call PPPay but clients can also use Paypal and Skrill. eBid allows clients to accept other forms of payment but these are not integrated on the site. eBid offers no fee auctions where sellers only pay if an item sells. When the item sells, eBid takes a small percentage of the sale.
The company has 8 million pages and more than 60,000 visitors to its site every day. eBid typically has more than 2.5 million listings at any given time.
