✍️ bumetric analysis
“
This iOS application targets the broad online marketplace sector, facilitating both buying and selling of new and used goods. Its direct competitors include other C2C and B2C platforms like Amazon, Etsy, and local classifieds apps. The substantial number of user ratings, coupled with a very high average score, indicates robust user engagement and strong market penetration. This suggests the app is well past its initial growth phase and firmly established as a mature, high-traction platform. For the Shopping category, while this specific app is free, many successful competitors leverage commission-based models on sales, often with tiered seller subscriptions or optional listing enhancements as common upgrade paths, rather than direct app purchases or traditional advertising.
BU Score 87 · Excellent — strong product-market fit. The full Investment Matrix below scores 8 dimensions including monetisation, growth, and operational risk.

✨AI Revenue EstimateCONFIDENCE: LOW
Publicly available data provides eBay's overall mobile gross merchandise volume (GMV) and the percentage of total sales made through mobile devices, but does not offer a specific revenue breakdown for the iOS app "eBay: kaufen & verkaufen" separate from its Android counterpart or mobile web transactions. eBay's revenue model is primarily based on transaction fees and advertising, not in-app purchases, which makes direct app revenue estimation challenging using standard app analytics sources. In Q1 2026, eBay reported $3.1 billion in total revenue and $15 billion in gross merchandise bought on mobile devices, representing approximately 67.57% of its total GMV of $22.2 billion. In 2025, eBay's total revenue was $11.1 billion, with 61% of its total sales made through a mobile device. Without a specific breakdown of revenue attributable solely to the iOS app, a direct estimate cannot be provided.

🌍Geographic ReachNot ranked
This app is currently outside the top 100 grossing in all 9 countries we monitor (US, UK, DE, FR, JP, CA, AU, BR, IN). Niche or new apps often launch this way — popularity rankings appear once daily revenue clears the regional threshold.
Profile is built from iTunes Lookup + developer site scrape + ML revenue model. Empty fields show "Not found" — additional sources (Crunchbase, X, IndieHackers, Acquire.com) coming.
