eBay sellers know more than anyone the kind of rough year eBay has been having, and third-quarter financials released on Wednesday revealed slow growth in eBay's Marketplaces business. eBay auctions fell 7% globally in the third quarter compared to the same period last year, while fixed-price listings (which make up 79% of total sales) grew 15%.

Back in the middle of the last decade, eBay, the massive auction site, was in trouble. Between 2005 and 2007, its stock price was cut in half and its market cap shrank by $30 billion. In October 2007, eBay admitted that Skype, a company it had acquired for $2.5 billion two years earlier, was actually worth less than half of that. During the third quarter of 2007, eBay lost money for the first time as a public company. Meanwhile, it was becoming clear that despite a massive early lead, eBay was going to miss out on China’s e-commerce boom. In the United States, Amazon was quickly becoming the "Everything Store," thanks to smarter branding and superior technology. After years of astonishing growth, the site was beginning to feel decidedly downmarket – a dotcom relic.

According to Gartner, Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to grow to 26 billion installed units by 2020, and IoT product and service suppliers will generate incremental revenue exceeding $300 billion, mostly in services, by 2020. Truly, IoT has caught the imagination of the technology world and there are many predictions about the impact it will have in the coming years. While many of these impact areas are yet to emerge and are currently more of speculation, there is one area which is beginning to see real action, and that is retail and e-commerce.
