SAN JOSE (dpa-AFX) – The online trading platform eBay is still struggling after the end of the pandemic-related internet order boom. In the second quarter, sales fell 9 percent year-on-year to $2.4 billion (2.36 billion euros), as Ebay announced on Wednesday after the US market closed. The bottom line is that Ebay even got into the red with 531 million dollars, which was mainly due to balance sheet value adjustments of investments in other companies. Adjusted quarterly earnings from continuing operations fell 18 percent to $554 million. The share initially jumped four percent in after-hours trading. Analysts had expected a worse annual report and outlook./hbr/DP/he
