eBay launched another "hub" portal page Tuesday, this time in the B2B category. eBay portal pages focus on a particular area and are useful starting pages for interested buyers. eBay has portal pages in various categories, including consumer electronics, sports, aviation and vintage toys.

The new portal will link to eBay auctions of interest to businesses, including capital equipment and wholesale lots.

eBay said that its restaurant and foodservice category grew 88% in 2002, generating $21 million gross merchandise sales (GMS). The metalworking equipment category grew 53%, generating $34 million GMS, and the construction and agriculture equipment categories grew an average of 115%, generating $31 million GMS in 2002.
