>Here is the wiki definition - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_merchandise_volume

Yeah I googled it too - a while ago - wikipedia isn't exactly a winning moving here.

>eBay and many other marketplaces use it.

That is deeply disingenuous. You originally said its "term of the trade in the retailing". I called bullsht - because I know its not used in retailing. In response you shift your argument (!!!) and reckon its used by ebay (FYI NOT A RETAIL OPERATION) - and copied the ebay stuff straight off wikipedia.

>I am not an expert in this field

Indeed.

I think you were accidentaly conflating the two users sumanthvepa and saurabhtandon (happened to me too, btw).

Personal attacks aside, you point still stands and I want to thank you for bringing some actual financial expertise into the discussion :-)
