这项调查汇集了关于eBay的经济文献中解决的理论和经验问题，重点是了解买卖双方的行为。我们讨论了竞标者行为的几个难题以及文献为每种行为提出的解释。然后，我们讨论投标人行为的结构估计，并测量来自eBay的消费者盈余。然后，我们尝试了解为什么同时使用这么多销售格式，然后专注于eBay英语拍卖中卖方的关键决策变量。最后，我们分析了值得信赖的eBay卖家的平均水平，以及反馈系统是否为良好行为提供了强烈的激励措施。
This survey brings together theoretical and empirical questions that have been addressed in the economic literature on eBay, focusing on understanding the behavior of buyers and sellers. We discuss several puzzles of bidder behavior and the explanations that have been put forward by the literature for each. We then discuss structural estimates of bidder behavior and measuring the consumer surplus derived from eBay. We then try to understand why there are so many selling formats being used simultaneously, and then focus on the critical decision variables for a seller in an eBay English auction. Finally we analyze how trustworthy eBay sellers are on average, and whether the feedback system provides strong incentives for good behavior.
