Everyone knows who Ebay is and how they work. But what if they want to open their "doors" to a larger crowd. Since the beginning of Ebay, they have not allowed minors, those under eighteen, to purchase or seel from their website. They now are creating a portion of their website to target just this group.

Many people are skeptical about this because of the material that may be exposed to these minors, but Ebay insists that the parental controls involved will be so intense you will have no need to worry about your child.

This decision has been a good one for Ebay, because of this they have seen a boost in revenue by 9.1% just this month. It seems that at the moment it is working out for Ebay, now we will just wait and see when the first minority dilemna will occur?
