The second quarter of eBay went on file with results in line with analysts' expectations, but what worries the e-commerce giant are the prospects for the future, which see declining results in the rest of the year due to the economic crisis in Europe and Asia.
In the second quarter, in fact, eBay has recorded revenues of 3,88 billion dollars, against expectations of 3,89 billion, while earnings per share hit 63 cents, in line with the consensus. In the period in question 3,5 million new users joined the e-commerce site.
However, the giant of online auctions expects revenues to stagnate for the third quarter, which will be between 3,85 and 3,95 billion dollars against the 3,97 billion previously estimated by analysts. "The headwinds on the macroeconomy in Europe and Korea - said the managing director of eBay John Donahaoe - will continue to be a challenge in the second half".
