eBay and many other marketplaces use it. My guess is that since these marketplace platforms are not actual retailers their GMV is pretty high as compared to revenue. To showcase the dollar value of total sales that happened on the platform they use GMV. But again I am not an expert in this field.
Yeah I googled it too - a while ago - wikipedia isn't exactly a winning moving here.
>eBay and many other marketplaces use it.
That is deeply disingenuous. You originally said its "term of the trade in the retailing". I called bullsht - because I know its not used in retailing. In response you shift your argument (!!!) and reckon its used by ebay (FYI NOT A RETAIL OPERATION) - and copied the ebay stuff straight off wikipedia.
>I am not an expert in this field
Indeed.
Personal attacks aside, you point still stands and I want to thank you for bringing some actual financial expertise into the discussion :-)
