EBay CEO explains how to open up business on the day

At the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet conference in San Francisco, John Donahoe, the chief executive of ebay, explained to the attendees why the company Donahoe on ebay now mobile apps.

The ebay Now service is really different from the traditional ebay market, where a large number of sellers offer customers a wide variety of goods, which is almost impossible to find if not a few typical products.

The ebay Now service condenses Many of the company's strengths and applies it to the local one-hour delivery business.

Donahoe, explaining to investors and the media, EBay now has a "bidding and credit system," in which those with leisure courier can get the opportunity to sign and carry goods and then get a rating based on their performance, so the system effectively improves the timeliness of delivery.

He compares ebay's Day service with that of a private car ride service, Uber the Uber of a private car by mobile apps, according to a request from a passenger.

At the same time, ebay also has online payment platform PayPal and shopping search engine Milo. PayPal, which has been running for more than 10 years, is responsible for trading mobile payments, and the Milo service has been running for two years and is responsible for tracking the inventory of local retail stores in real time. They are all necessary components of ebay now.

ebay's online reputation system and its feedback rating, launched in the 1990s, have also provided some experience in delivering business on the day.

Donahoe says ebay's now offering in New York and San Francisco is not about making money, but simply trying to "innovate" and learn.

"What people buy that day can be received and paid on the same day, and we just try to change to fit the needs of our customers," Donahoe said.

Amazon and Google (Weibo) are also on the day of the exploration service. (Amazon offers very limited service on the day in its patchwork market and does not meet demand, and ebay now offers less than an hour of convenience.) )

Some emerging companies, such as Instacart and Postmates, also offer service on the same day. Postmates was founded in San Francisco and is now expanding its business to Seattle. As a result, service delivery is a new area to open up, but ebay should also be wary of new competitors.
