eBay's history in India has notable twists: after operating for years in the subcontinent, it sold eBay.in to Flipkart in 2017 along with a $500 million investment. When Walmart acquired Flipkart in 2018, eBay sold its stake for $1.1 billion and recovered the brand license. On December 31, 2018, eBay relaunched ebay.in with a completely different approach from the original: instead of competing with Flipkart and Amazon India in mass domestic e-commerce, eBay India focuses on cross-border trade. The platform works as a bidirectional bridge: it allows Indian buyers to access eBay's global inventory — something neither Flipkart nor Amazon India offer with the same breadth — and serves as an export channel for Indian sellers who want to reach international buyers. For collectors, eBay.in is the most direct route to finding items located in India from local sellers: vintage textiles, traditional handcrafted jewelry, antiques, miniatures, stamps and coins from British India, Bollywood and cricket memorabilia, and regional craftsmanship from a country with extraordinary cultural diversity. In the reverse direction, Indian collectors can access trading cards, retro video games, vinyl records, and Western collectibles that have no local distribution. The auction format, absent from dominant Indian platforms, adds a particularly valuable dimension for rare pieces where setting a fixed price is difficult.
