eBay Inc. (NASDAQ: EBAY)is an American Internet (Consumer-to-consumer) company that manageseBay.com, an online auction and shopping website inwhich people and businesses buy and sell a broad variety of goods and servicesworldwide. Founded in 1995, eBay is one of the notable success stories of the dot-combubble; it is now a multi-billion dollar business with operations localizedin over thirty countries.[3][4] eBay expandedfrom its original "set-time" auction format to include "Buy ItNow" standard shopping; shopping by UPC, ISBN, or other kind of SKU (via Half.com);online classified advertisements (via Kijiji or eBayClassifieds); online event ticket trading (via StubHub); onlinemoney transfers (via PayPal[5])and other services. The online auction website wasfounded as AuctionWeb in San Jose, California, on September 3, 1995, by French-born Iranian computerprogrammer Pierre Omidyar as part of a larger personalsite that included, among other things, Omidyar's own tongue-in-cheek tributeto the Ebola virus.[6] One ofthe first items sold on eBay was a broken laserpointer for $14.83. Astonished, Omidyar contacted the winning bidderto ask if he understood that the laser pointer was broken. In his respondingemail, the buyer explained: "I'm a collector of broken laser pointers."[7] Thefrequently repeated story that eBay was founded to help Omidyar's fiancée trade Pez candy dispenserswas fabricated by a public relations manager in 1997 to interest the media.This was revealed in Adam Cohen's 2002 book, The Perfect Store,[6] andconfirmed by eBay. Chris Agarpao was hired as eBay's firstemployee and Jeffrey Skoll was hired as the first presidentof the company in early 1996. In November 1996, eBay entered into its firstthird-party licensing deal, with a company called Electronic Travel Auction touse SmartMarket Technology to sell plane tickets and other travel products.Growth was phenomenal; in January 1997 the site hosted 2,000,000 auctions,compared with 250,000 during the whole of 1996.[8] The companyofficially changed the name of its service from AuctionWeb to eBay in September1997. Originally, the site belonged to Echo Bay Technology Group, Omidyar'sconsulting firm. Omidyar had tried to register the domain name echobay.com, butfound it already taken by the Echo Bay Mines, a gold mining company,[9] so heshortened it to his second choice,eBay.com.[10] (Echobay.comis now owned by Echobay Partners, Ltd., a privateequity firm based in Nevis.) In 1997, the company received $6.7 millionin funding from the venture capital firm BenchmarkCapital.[11] Meg Whitman washired as eBay President and CEO in March 1998. At the time, the company had 30employees[12] halfa million users and revenues of $4.7 million in the United States.[13] eBaywent public on September 21, 1998,[14] and bothOmidyar and Skoll became instant billionaires. eBay's target share price of $18was all but ignored as the price went to $53.50 on the first day of trading.[15] As the company expanded product categoriesbeyond collectibles into almost any saleable item, business grew quickly.[7] InFebruary 2002, the company purchased IBazar, a similarEuropean auction web site founded in 1995 and then bought PayPal on October14, 2002. In early 2008, the company had expandedworldwide, counted hundreds of millions of registered users, 15,000+ employeesand revenues of almost $7.7 billion.[13] Afternearly ten years at eBay, Whitman made the decision to enter politics. OnJanuary 23, 2008 the company announced that Whitman would step down on March31, 2008 and John Donahoe was selected to become President andCEO.[16] Whitmanremained on the Board of Directors and continued to advise Donahoe through2008. In late 2009, eBay completed the sale of Skype for $2.75billion, but will still own 30% equity in the company.[17] In July 2010, eBay was sued for $3.8billion by XPRT Ventures that accused eBay of stealing information shared inconfidence by the inventors on XPRT's own patents, and incorporated it intofeatures 希望我的答案能对你有所帮助!
