https://techcrunch.com/2017/11/28/ebay-says-cyber-monday-was-its-biggest-sales-day-ever/ >Looks like this past Cyber Monday was a hit across the board. Earlier today, Amazon noted that the Black Friday weekend was its strongest yet, and now eBay’s one-upping the site by announcing that yesterday was the biggest sales day in the site’s 22-year history — a stat that includes both retail sales and auctions. >Like Amazon, eBay isn’t offering much in the way of hard numbers here, instead noting some fun facts, like “A tablet was sold every 7 seconds” and “A Star Wars item was sold every 6 seconds,” which are not particularly useful. What is interesting, however, is how the numbers point to the changing state of the site, which has transformed itself over the past couple of decades from the internet’s auction site to more of a retail storefront.
