Flipkart To Shut eBay India, Launch New Refurbished Goods Platform Back in May earlier this year, Flipkart not only  sold a controlling stake  to Walmart but also bought eBay’s India operations in exchange for a minority stake. Fast forward a couple of months and Flipkart has now decided to shut down eBay India, which falls in line with the plans it had in mind while buying India’s oldest retailer in the first place. When Flipkart bought eBay India, it had already decided that eBay will not continue to run in a similar fashion and that it will be refreshed and relaunched for the Indian masses. So, instead of trying to convince users of the quality of refurbished goods being sold under a well-known brand, that doesn’t attract eyeballs, Flipkart is making a smart move. Flipkart will  soon launch a ‘new platform’ for selling refurbished or used goods in the country . eBay India competes with the likes of OLX and Quikr, which cover a majority ground in this segment in India.
