PROFILE |
 |
QXL ricardo (formerly QXL.com) hopes to be Europe's answer to eBay. A leading European online auctioneer, QXL ricardo offers consumer-to-consumer and business-to-consumer auctions. The latter include a program through which merchants sell directly to consumers, and a program through which QXL ricardo buys wares from manufacturers and sells them to consumers. The auctions offer items such as art and collectibles, books, cars, and music. QXL ricardo launched its service in the UK and has expanded across Europe. Founder Timothy Jackson owns about 13% of the company. Other investors include Apax Funds (17%) and Europ@web (about 10%). To combat eBay's expansion into Europe, QXL.com acquired German rival ricardo.de in 2000.
