eBay Inc. is a multinational American e-commerce enterprise with headquarters in San Jose, California, that enables both business-to-business and consumer-to-consumer purchases through its website. Pierre Omidyar launched eBay in 1995, and it quickly rose to prominence as a noteworthy dot-com bubble success story. As of 2019, eBay is a multibillion-dollar company with operations in around 32 nations. The business operates the eBay website, a global marketplace where individuals and organizations may buy and sell a wide range of products and services. Buyers can access the website for free, but after a certain number of free listings, sellers must pay fees to post their goods and an additional or separate fee when those goods are sold. Along with the immediate “Buy It Now” buying, shopping by Universal Product Code, ISBN, or another type of SKU number (through Half.com, which was shut down in 2017), and other services have been added to eBay in addition to the traditional auction-style sales. Previously, eBay included online money transfers (through PayPal, a wholly owned eBay subsidiary from 2002 to 2015), online classified ads (via Kijiji, or eBay Classifieds Group), and online trading of event tickets as part of its services (via StubHub). In place of its longtime payment partner PayPal, eBay announced a new collaboration on July 25, 2018, with Apple and Square. The AuctionWeb was started in California on September 3, 1995, as a section of a bigger personal website, by French-born Iranian-American computer programmer Pierre Omidyar. A broken laser pointer was one of the first things to sell on AuctionWeb for $14.83. Omidyar was shocked when the winning bidder informed him that the laser pointer was damaged, adding, “I’m a collector of broken laser pointers.” It quickly gained prominence after being the first online auction service to permit transactions between individuals. Until his Internet service provider told him he would need to upgrade to a commercial account owing to his high website traffic, Omidyar reportedly only used eBay as a pastime. He began charging eBay users after the monthly fee increased from $30 to $250, but they kept using the website. Chris Agarpao handled the processing of mailed check payments as eBay’s first employee. At the beginning of 1996, Jeffrey Skoll was appointed as the organization’s first new president. With a business called Electronic Travel Auction, the E-Commerce platform signed its first third-party licensing agreement in November 1996 to use SmartMarket Technology to offer airline tickets and other travel-related goods. The increase was astounding: from 25,000 auctions held in the entire year of 1996 to 20,000 in just January 1997. In September 1997, the business changed the name of its service from AuctionWeb to eBay in honor of Omidyar’s consulting business, Echo Bay Technology Group. Due to a gold mining corporation already owning the domain name echobay.com, Omidyar abbreviated it to eBay.com. The venture capital firm Benchmark Capital provided $6.7 million in funding to the business in 1997. In order to provide the media with a human-interest story more appealing than Omidyar’s original idea of a “perfect market,” public relations manager Mary Lou Song made up the oft-repeated tale that eBay was formed to assist Omidyar’s fiance trade Pez candy dispensers. The Pez dispenser myth caused a lot of media attention and sparked an early boom in toy collecting. The most challenging toys to find in retail stores, Beanie Babies made by Ty, Inc., swiftly became the market leader in the toy category. Ty created the first business-to-consumer website, a secondary-market online trading post where consumers could trade their Beanie Babies, while collectors around the world tried to complete their collections of Beanie Babies. But because of the overwhelming number of unsortable postings, there was a pressing need for a more effective online trading system. When collectors flocked to eBay’s user-friendly design to search for individual Beanie Babies, Beanie Babies quickly grew to be the site’s most popular product, making up 10% of all listings in 1997. A complicated system of service fees, product feature listings, and a final value charge for sales revenues by sellers are how eBay makes money. As of 2019, a basic listing without any adornments costs US$0.35 on the US-based eBay.com website. The final value fee, which includes the item’s price plus delivery costs, ranges from 10 to 12 percent of the entire transaction amount. Business registered customers are eligible for lower final value fees. Similar pricing structures are used by other eBay websites, however, they have varying cost rates. Prior to 2018, US law prohibited states from requiring sellers who are situated outside of their borders to collect sales taxes, which encouraged US customers to make transactions on eBay. With eBay transactions, business-operating sellers do adhere to state tax laws. From 2018, alterations to US tax law require eBay (and other sizable marketplaces) to charge sales tax on any purchases made on their site that are delivered to select states. The company’s business plan calls for increased trading abroad. More than 20 more nations, including China and India, have already joined eBay. In Taiwan and Japan, where Yahoo! had an advantage, as well as in New Zealand, where Trade Me is the preeminent online auction platform, strategic international expansion has failed. Due to rivalry with local rival Taobao, eBay also notably failed in China. 2002 saw eBay’s entry into the Chinese market, while 2007 saw the closure of its local website. After selling its India operations to Flipkart, the largest e-commerce startup in the nation, as part of the latter’s $1.4Bn financing, eBay’s activities in India came to an end. eBay sellers are allowed to offer a choice of payment methods, including Escrow.com, PayPal, Paymate, Propay, and Skrill, for the majority of listing categories. Due to minimal usage, Propay and Skrill were prohibited as of September 27, 2015. Escrow.com is an authorized escrow provider by eBay. Although not exclusively, most of the transactions handled by Escrow.com are in connection with eBay Motors listings. Under the guise of the eBay Partner Network, the company offers an affiliate program. With commissions ranging from 50% to 75% of the fees paid for an item purchased, eBay affiliate marketers were first compensated as a share of the transaction fees collected by the eBay seller. eBay switched to a Quality Click Pricing affiliate payout system in October 2009, where affiliates receive payments based on a secret algorithm. Earnings Per Click, or EPC, is calculated by dividing the total earnings by the number of clicks the affiliate delivered to eBay. A new price structure was introduced by ePN in October 2013. With bonuses offered for introducing new and reactivated customers, the new model is more open and is based on category-level base commission rates.
