Glyde Debuts New Online Marketplace. E-Commerce 2.0?
Posted on November 16, 2009 |
You wouldn't think the world would need another place for people to buy and sell used media such as DVDs, books, video games, and CDs. eBay and Amazon.com, along with innumerable smaller e-commerce Web sites, dominate a multibillion-dollar market that obviously provides a satisfactory experience for a great many people.
Glyde, a startup created by former eBay Motors founder and chief Simon Rothman, is betting there's plenty of room left for newcomers that can make the whole buying and selling process much faster and easier. On Nov. 16, the Palo Alto-based company is debuting the site, which it promises will provide single-click purchasing for buyers (after the first one, during which you have to fill in your credit-card and shipping information) and 10-second item listing for sellers.
