eBay, global online auction, and trading company launched by

American entrepreneur Pierre Omidyar in 1995. eBay was one of the first
companies to create and market an Internet Web site to match buyers and sellers of
goods and services. The company, which caters to individual sellers and small
businesses, is a market leader in e-commerce worldwide. eBay is headquartered
in San Jose, California.

Customers can participate in Web sites set up within their own country or use one
of the company’s international sites. There are eBay Web sites for both the U.S.
and Canadian markets, most European countries, and several countries in Asia.
Latin American Web sites are operated in association with Mercado Libre, an e-
commerce provider running similar operations. Although auctions constitute the
bulk of eBay sales, fixed-price sales also constitute a significant share of
transactions.

That’s why the eBay the one of the most famous internet phenomena and
marketplace. Nowadays the eBay helps peoples to find rare items such as
collectible books, collectible toys, collectible cards, and other collectible items.
In conclusion, I want to say that the eBay has changed our lives in way of buying
different things. So, it was and still is one of the most helpful web sites in the
world.
