Sean Aylmer speaks to Tim MacKinnon, Managing Director & VP for eBay Australia & NZ.

As far as websites go, eBay would be one of the elder statesmen of the internet.

Founded in 1995 as AuctionWeb, it turned into eBay in 1997, and the name became synonymous with the buying and selling of goods online.

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.

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.
