SHOP.blink.ph – Philippines Online Guide: Internet Trading Auctions Shopping Buying Selling Classifieds

Some nice data over at Pinoytechblog.com reagrding eBay.ph. I am bit surprised that eBay.ph is still looking at Bidshot.com to check the metrics. Yeah, eBay can make comparisons vs Auction.ph but to Bidshot? I think eBay.ph should not limit itself in looking at site stats compared to other “auction” sites. Rather generally, look at buy and sell websites in the Philippines.

Filipinos online buy & sell site users look at these sites not only to really to do auction and wait per se, but to do quick sell as well. eBay should not look the other way and must do an Alexa chart comparing another Philippine online marketplace, Sulit.com.ph to that of eBay. Moreover, eBay.ph says, over 36,000 users since the November 2007 re-launch of the site. That would be equivalent to “only” 300 new users per day. Compared that to sulit that gets 500 to 600 users per day. That dwarfs eBay’s 300 new users a day considering eBay.ph is run by, well, EBAY! Don’t get me wrong, I am not picking sites, err, sides. I want eBay.oh to flourish for the good of mankind (filipino net sellers), but clearly, eBay has to contend with the one-man show of Sulit.com.ph.
