Hoover's coverage by Lynett Oliver

Overview

"I got it on eBay" has barreled its way into the lexicon of the new millennium, placing a cyber-grin on the corporate face of online auctioneer eBay. Trading $2,000 worth of goods every second, the company offers an online forum for selling merchandise worldwide, from fine antiques to the latest video games. eBay generates revenue through listing and selling fees and through advertising and boasts more than 94 million users. Its online payments division consists of PayPal and Bill Me Later; other e-commerce platforms include StubHub and Half.com. eBay owns minority stakes in Internet phone service Skype and online classifieds service craigslist. In mid-2011 eBay bought e-commerce services provider GSI Commerce.
