A KERRY man has helped ensure the tills have been ringing out for one of Ireland’s most important marketplaces for traders.
Trading website eBay has enjoyed an extraordinarily rapid expansion in Ireland, with Tralee man, John McElligott, managing director of eBay Ireland, at the helm. eBay.ie, the dedicated Irish eBay website, now has over 500,000 confirmed registered users in Ireland, he revealed during the week.
This figure, which represents 58 per cent of all Irish Internet users and 16 per cent of the over 18 population of Ireland, marks a 150 percent increase in users since the site launched in June 2005.
Mr McElligott, managing director of eBay Ireland said the figure represents a significant landmark for eBay.ie.
“We are grateful for the loyalty of our users in helping us pass this milestone,” he stated.
