EBay Inc. may expand its efforts to offer local-language portals to shoppers in emerging markets beyond an existing Russian site, Chief Executive Officer John Donahoe said in an interview.
The owner of the world’s largest online marketplace will look to Asia, eastern Europe, Latin America and the Middle East for potential new sites, Donahoe said in Paris. The local sites would give shoppers in those regions access to EBay’s global network of buyers and sellers, along the template of the Russian service, which started operations last year.
