Question - Recognition of revenue
eBay sells used products collected from different suppliers. Assume a customer purchases a used bicycle through eBay for $300. eBay agrees to pay the supplier $200 for the bicycle. The bicycle will be shipped to the customer by the original bicycle owner.
Assume eBay promised to pay $200 to the supplier regardless of whether the bicycle is sold, but the bicycle will continue to be shipped directly from the supplier to the customer. How much revenue would eBay recognize at the time of the sale? Why?
