eBay Business is a professional sales solution provided by eBay for B2B sellers, designed to help business buyers (such as retailers, wholesalers, and manufacturers) purchase goods in bulk. Its core features include volume pricing, tiered discounts, Best Offer, dedicated business account management, and purchase approval workflows. Use cases: suitable for factories, wholesalers, or distributors selling products to other businesses on eBay, especially for standardized goods such as electronic components, office supplies, and industrial parts. Notes: eBay Business requires sellers to register as business sellers and provide business credentials; transactions must comply with eBay's business policies, such as invoicing and tax handling; compared with regular eBay individual accounts, eBay Business places greater emphasis on bulk transactions and credit terms. Unlike pure B2B platforms such as Alibaba.com, eBay Business still relies on eBay's hybrid C2C/B2C ecosystem, and buyers may also be individual consumers, so sellers need to set retail and wholesale prices flexibly. In addition, eBay Business supports integration with ERP systems for easier order management.

2. As an eBay Business seller, I received an inquiry from a German buyer requesting a quote for 1,000 industrial connectors and a commercial invoice. (Note: demonstrates Best Offer and commercial transaction scenarios on eBay Business.)
