Can we find examples of short-selling for profit in business?

Question

I guess auction sites like EBay would be the

opposite (long selling) phenomena. Where besides

the stock and commodities markets would we find

examples of short-selling (for profit)?

Answer 1

stock, fixed income, commodities/futures...

but outside of those markets, i don't think that you could.

maybe drop-shipping would loosely fit that definition, though.
