eBay
Digital auction house
eBay is an online marketplace where individuals and businesses buy and sell goods, typically through auctions or fixed-price listings.
Founded in 1995, it pioneered consumer-to-consumer e-commerce.
The site is known for collectibles, used items, and hard-to-find goods: I found a vintage lamp on eBay.
To eBay something is to sell it there.
