 eBay’s future growth:International

Why not just everyone come and use same site?

Language

Distance

 shipping costs go up significantly as get out of local area.

 Raises cost to ship over borders.Lowers incentive.

• Culture.
• France told Yahoo to ban French users from English sites

• selling Nazi memorabilia. Yahoo now tracks users with

geographic-filtering software Only about 12% of revenues
come from cross-border transactions.
• Government Regulation:

• Wouldthereeven be adebate over listing Nazi s
tuff in Franceor Germany? No.Why? It's illegal

InDec. '04an eBay managerwas jailed because th
e servicesold a pornographic video, even after
eBay pulled the videoafter it was discovered
