eBay’s Core Business And Charitable Efforts Amid The Coronavirus 

eBay’s Q1 earnings results detailed a series of crosscurrents in different businesses, which added up to some modest gains. Its core business was down in the U.S., with an increase in the last two weeks of the quarter as shelter-in-place orders came into effect throughout the world. The firm has also spent a sizable amount of funds on what it referred to as coronavirus-related expenses, as its foundation donated to nonprofits throughout the world. All this, Today in Data.
