eBay has launched its first Australian store on the forecourt of Customs House, Sydney for the next four days. At the same time, Groupon has taken a short term lease of the former golf range store in Elizabeth Street to offer customers the option to buy in-store and collect instantly, or buy online and pick up at a time convenient to them.
