Answer
So much for this investigative reporter. Does not even know eBay is only a venue. eBay does not "employ" any of the sellers.
Answer
I misread it the first time too LOL!
If eBay actually employed the 430,000 people who earn an income selling on its site, it would be the second-largest private employer in the United States after Wal-Mart.
But I have another question.. only 430,000 people earn an income from eBay?? They must've dropped a zero or two!
Answer
Personally, I wonder what they consider an income. 20.00 per year? 100.00 per year?
