eBay is an online shopping site that's best known for its auctions and consumer to consumer sales.

About eBay

eBay was founded on September 3, 1995 by Pierre Omidyar. They exclusively sell products on their website, which allows individuals as well as businesses to buy or sell many types of products or services all over the world. Items are sold in the form of an online auction, but the website also now offers instant shopping. eBay began as a site called Auction Web, and was originally a hobby for the founder until he was forced to upgrade his internet due to the amount of traffic the website was garnering.

eBay announced its initial public offering on September 21, 1998. One of its primary markets at the time was for the Beanie Babies toy created by Ty, as they were very difficult to find in retail stores. Many collectors were trying to find a complete collection of Beanie Babies, but this proved difficult. As a result, Ty created an online trading site exclusively for people trying to trade Beanie Babies. However, the design of the site was inefficient, and eBay became the preferred platform for trading Beanie Babies due to its easy-to-use interface.

Other the last couple years, more emphasis has been put on stores and large sellers on eBay, so you will find more big sellers than individuals.

Motors

More From Wikipedia

"As the company expanded product categories beyond collectibles into almost any saleable item, business grew quickly. In 2000, eBay had 12 million registered users and a cyber inventory of more than 4.5 million items on sale on any given day. In 2001, eBay had the largest user base of any e-commerce site. In February 2002 the company purchased iBazar, a similar European auction website founded in 1998, and then bought PayPal on October 3, 2002.

By early 2008 the company had expanded worldwide, counting hundreds of millions of registered users as well as 15,000 employees and revenues of almost $7.7 billion. After nearly ten years at eBay, Whitman decided to enter politics. On January 23, 2008, the company announced that Whitman would step down on March 31, 2008, and John Donahoe was selected to become president and CEO. Whitman remained on the board of directors and continued to advise Donahoe through 2008. In late 2009 eBay completed the sale of Skype for $2.75 billion, but still owned 30% equity in the company."
