UK is the busiest ebay nation

Via Enterprise Nation I learn from BBC News that

Britain is now the world’s busiest eBay nation.

There is more traded on eBay UK per head of population – about £50 a year each – than anywhere else, including the USA.

So if UKers are taking to buying and selling physical objects in large numbers then how about the same sort of mechanism for bits of work and services, as in microjobs?

I can envisage a rapidly expanding future for services such as that which pajamanation is offering – a kind of ebay for short term jobs – once the idea takes hold, and that’s just as well since I’ve recently taken on the task of helping to develop the UK end of this international microjobs exchange. Registration at Pajamanation.com is free for a period up to March 15th 2007 so both freelancers and job-providers can try out the service. Go on, take a look inside and imagine a future where you can pick up a few hours paid work in the same way as buying an ipod off ebay.
