What is eBay Incorporated?
eBay Inc is a North American multinational e-commerce company that provides a platform for consumer-to-consumer and business-to-consumer sales. The company was founded in 1995 and was one of the first huge successes of online retail. The company disrupted traditional retail sales with an auction-style bidding process that enticed both seller and consumer. The current business model entices purchasers with no fee transactions while charging buyers to list and sell their products. The US continues to be the largest single market for the company in terms of revenue generation, however, more than 60% of current income is earned internationally.
eBay has expanded into other business areas through a series of acquisitions. Some of the most notable companies that have been owned by eBay at one time include Skype, Kijiji, Craigslist, StubHub and PayPal. PayPal was arguably the most successful, so much so that it was spun-off to create its own company in 2014 under government accusations of tied selling practices and monopolisation of online payments.
