Abstract
Since its creation 20 years ago eBay has been a significant force in promoting small businesses and entrepreneurship across the United States of America and Europe. Today there are 25 million active sellers on eBay, many of them making a living selling online. During a recent visit to Africa I had the chance to meet with two Rwandan-based eBay sellers and was able to experience first-hand how online trade creates sales opportunities.
