After the internet shopping boom during the corona pandemic, business on the online trading platform Ebay is much worse. In the first quarter, revenues fell by six percent compared to the previous year to 2.5 billion dollars (2.4 billion euros), as eBay announced on Wednesday after the US market closed. Profits fell 16 percent to $625 million. The outlook for the current quarter was also poor. Ebay expects sales to fall further to between $2.35 billion and $2.4 billion, falling short of analyst forecasts. The stock was down around 6 percent in after-hours trading. (dpa)
