eBay
eBay is an American multinational e-commerce corporation based in San Jose, California, that facilitates consumer-to-consumer and business-to-consumer sales through its website. It was founded by Pierre Omidyar in 1995 and became a notable success story of the dot-com bubble. eBay is known for its auction-style sales model but has since expanded to include “Buy It Now” shopping, shopping by UPC, ISBN, or other kind of SKU, online classified advertisements, and online event ticket trading.
