Yes, eBay is now 10 years old! And to celebrate that fact, here are some interesting facts about the world's largest site to buy and sell:

The most expensive item on eBay sold came to a total of £5m.
A £5 note was sold on eBay for £6.99.
The most eBayers in the world live in the US, followed closely by the UK.
When it started it was simply a computer geek's hobby, but it has now grown into a £25bn business, now that's improvement!
One of Elvis' teeth was put up for auction, but never sold.
A lunch that was half-eaten by Justin Timberlake sold with the fork and syrup included.
Someone put up the Millenium Dome for sale at £10m including shipping, it was taken down.

The best one I heard of was one young English woman who sold her virginity! I don't remember how much she raised but it was a four- or five-figure sum!

It's called Reflectoporn, it had a brief vogue a few years back.

A CD sells every 11 seconds on eBay and a mobile phone sells every minute. Approximate figures but shows the amount of demand. :eek:
