EBay (EBAY.O) and other e-commerce companies warned on Tuesday of lower-than-expected customer spending, forecasting fourth-quarter sales and profit below Wall Street estimates.

Located in San Jose, California, Following the bell, shares of eBay were down around 6.8% in trade. High-interest rates and persistent inflation in both the U.S. and central European nations have further reduced the discretionary spending of consumers.

Per predictions from Wall Street, the company’s third-quarter sales increased by 5% to $2.50 billion as the market for reconditioned items increased. Against forecasts of $1, eBay earned $1.03 per share on an adjusted basis.
