Mondial Relay and eBay: brand overview
Mondial Relay and eBay are two very popular brands that are now real references in their respective markets.
eBay: pioneer in online trading of goods and services
Founded in 1995 by Pierre Omidyar, eBay is an American online trading company used worldwide by several million active users. It was one of the first companies to popularise e-commerce by connecting buyers and sellers from a website.
The way eBay works is very simple: sellers offer their products, new or used, for sale via an auction system or at a fixed price. Buyers can bid on the products they wish to purchase or buy them directly by paying the fixed price.
Mondial Relay: one of the leaders in parcel delivery in France
Created in 1997, the French company Mondial Relay specialises in parcel delivery in France and Europe.
A true reference in its market, Mondial Relay has made delivery in relay points its strong point, with more than 12,000 partner merchants throughout France. The company also offers all other delivery solutions, such as home delivery or delivery to a locker.
Mondial Relay enjoys an excellent reputation among private individuals and professionals thanks to its economical, secure and fast offer.
