eBaying

Hawking items digitally

eBaying is buying or selling items on eBay, the online auction and marketplace platform.

The term covers both casual sellers clearing out household items and dedicated resellers running businesses: I've been eBaying all weekend to declutter the garage.

It often implies the hunt-and-bid aspect of online auctions rather than fixed-price purchases.
