Hi
I have a question I hope you can help me out with as none of my friends know the answer. The question is when was ebay officially launched in the UK?
As a relative newcomer to the internet I was just curious as it seems to have been talked about for decades. Has it really been around that long?
Thanks
Debbie

Not sure of an exact date for the launch. The domain name was registered on 14-Sep-1998 though so it must of been time after this.

Thanks for that. I can't believe it is not even 10 years old though? Was the UK version set up way after the other ebay outifts in places like the US or would they have set up around the same time everywhere?

Thank you very much for that. I am astonished to see that it was only started in 1995 and with a broken item at that? It is amazing how it has grown so much over such a short time and is part of most peoples internet experience.
