“Its too late baby, now its too late” (C. King)
India’s online auction history:
1999: Baazee started (with BIG money from Murdoch)
2004: Baazee bought by eBay
2005a: eBay India launched
2005b: Rediff starts Auctions
There’s only one question: Why? Maybe to have fun looking at those early days of the Rediff Feedback System, where obviously professional sellers have -1-ratings, dealing with very professional buyers like Sonia… (click to enlarge picture)

Just had a look at rediff: Auctions in India are so different from the rest of the world. You will not find used stuff at an auction, it is all new! And then an auction does not really makes sense.
China is very different, where Yahoo!/Toabao and eBay are batteling with marketing budgets of a 100 Million USD!
