GittiGidiyor, the Turkish affiliate of the world's largest e-trade vendor eBay has seen a significant rise in membership numbers, which have reached 9.5 million and will record 80 percent growth by the end of the year. According to GittiGidiyor General Manager Cenk Angın, Turkey's version of eBay may soon become the top third in Europe.
In 2012, GittiGidiyor's transaction volume rose by 46 percent, whereas this year's figures mark 80 percent growth by the end of the year. The fast-growing e-trade firm provides instantaneous purchasing possibilities for nearly five million items broken down into over 5,000 categories. The firm issues receipts for approximately 750,000 products a month, which means a product is sold on the website every three seconds. A whopping 83 percent of those transactions are conducted by first-time users.
GITTIGIDIYOR'S GOAL IS TO BECOME EBAY'S TOP THIRD IN EUROPE
GittiGidiyor General Manager Cenk Angın says that GittiGidiyor now aims to become eBay's top third affiliate in Europe. Turkey is currently in fifth place for eBay sales in Europe, following Germany, England, Italy and France, respectively. "With our sustainable success, we aim to carry our position to third place," states Angın.
