Everyday eBay: Culture, Collecting, and Desire Edited by Ken Hillis and Michael Petit with Nathan Epley Routledge, April 2006 Everyday eBay is the first book-length scholarly analysis of eBay that examines how the site has become a global social, cultural, and economic phenomenon. The nineteen interdisciplinary essays in the volume approach eBay from a wide variety of disciplinary perspectives, revealing how the auction site has become a bellwether of taste and material culture, a research tool, a nexus for the increasingly ubiquitous practice of selling and buying goods online, and a neoliberal facilitator of global consumerism. Ken Hillis is Associate Professor of Media Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
