Wednesday, December 23, 2009 - Ebay FAKES it's own user numbers.... Part 2. How Ebay FAKES it's own user numbers.
http://www.ebuster.co.uk/SellerStats.aspx
eBay claims to have 233 million members worldwide yeah and I’m worth several millions pound if I saved every penny, didn’t pay taxes and worked overtime but the reality is nothing like that and we are only able to find about 30 million active members across the globe after trawling eBay for over a year and that includes following up to 200 feedback links from each members feedback page.
The 233 million figure banded around by eBay is of no relevance at all but if you are prepared to dig a little deeper then eBay does eventually come clean and says it has about 14 million active members in the UK and this is a figure we can broadly agree upon if active members is defined as anyone who has traded during the past year.
Shown below is our independent breakdown of active eBay members that will also include scam accounts like those that are used for selling feedbak. You may find more reports Here
