ComScore Online Auction Scorecard: eBay tops, but Bidz and uBid pick up steam

Quote:Research shows that eBay still dominates the Auction category, but other players are gaining ground...

In February 2006, 68.4 million people visited auction sites. eBay alone drew 66.6 million of those visitors, accounting for 97 percent of all visitors to the category during February.

eBays top competitors, Bidz.com and uBid.com, have both achieved significant traffic gains over the past year. Bidz.com grew 102 percent to 2.2 million visitors, while uBid.com grew 100 percent to 1.5 million visitors. Might this signal the emergence of some other players in this highly coveted retail space?...

eBay 66.6 million visitors in February (up 7%)
