<p>Sean Aylmer speaks to Tim MacKinnon, Managing Director & VP for eBay Australia & NZ.</p>
<p>As far as websites go, eBay would be one of the elder statesmen of the internet.</p>
<p>Founded in 1995 as AuctionWeb, it turned into eBay in 1997, and the name became synonymous with the buying and selling of goods online.</p>
<p>eBay survived the dotcom bubble in the early 2000s, and the Global Financial Crisis, and alongside Amazon, has cemented its place as one of the main global e-commerce players. It's now worth approximately US$40-billion.</p>
<p>Sean spoke to Tim MacKinnon about eBay in Australia, how the company has fared during the pandemic, and the future of both e-commerce and bricks-and-mortar retail in Australia.</p>
