e-Commerce Revolution

Open for business

The real second-hand e-commerce started with eBay.

But the truly global and widespread success e-commerce will achieve with Facebook Marketplace.

Launched in October 2016 in the US, in August 2017 in Europe and in November 2017 in Croatia. Still young but very potent service.

Facebook Marketplace is not a facilitator, but a venue, and all sales details like price, shipping or meeting point are between the seller and the buyer. And, yes, both parts are absolutely free from paying a “rent”.

What user can do:

Search by location (spanning 100 miles away) or browse by a category. If you find something you want, you’ll see the seller’s approximate location, but not their exact address unless they tell you

View items for sale (including basic seller’s profile information)

Make an offer (haggling is also available)

Message a seller (for a meet-up arrangement or payment details as Facebook Marketplace doesn’t provide any payment or delivery options)

Save searches or specific items


How to sell on Facebook Marketplace:

Take photos of your item or add them from your camera roll

Enter a product name, description and price

Confirm your location and select a category

Post it

THE WORLDWIDE RETAIL ECOMMERCE SALES ARE ESTIMATED TO GROW FROM $1.915 TRILLION TO $4.058 TRILLION BY 2020.

The Harlem Shake Now In Croatia

"this harlem shake stuff is blowing my mind."

I wondered if "The Harlem Shake" was still in full effect on the Internet after posting about it last week? The answer: Yup, still going strong. Don't believe me? Croatia is crazy about this meme.

As of Feb. 11, there have been over 12,000 “Harlem Shake” videos, and they’ve been watched more than 44 million times. Now, YouTube says, over 4,000 of these crazy dance videos are being uploaded per day. Those videos — more than 4,000 of which are posted each day — have been watched upward of 44 million times.

Back in the '80s, the body-quaking move was invented at a Harlem basketball game. From there, it went on to become a hip-hop dance move involving shimmies (shoulder shakes), tics (robotic starts and stops) and pops (leg spasms).
