    The fact that we started trading online with the help of eBay was partly due to the intuitive and easy handling of the platform. In addition, we were able to significantly expand our clientele. We sell products across Europe thanks to the wide reach of eBay.

  • eBay Seller Carolin Langer
    For me, online business offers the advantages that we can reach our customers around the clock, but also the reach across Germany. In contrast to the local brick and mortar business, we can present our products better. We can provide pictures or videos to show customers how the plants will look later when they have grown.
