Brief History of eBay

eBay.com was originally founded in 1995 as AuctionWeb in San Jose, California by Pierre Omidyar.  The name came from Omidyar’s joking around the Ebola virus.  This small personal blog quickly grew and began charging for listings without any resistance.

By January 1997 the site had served over 2 million auctions and changed its name to eBay in September of the same year.  Benchmark capital funded the expansion of eBay by providing $6.7 million in venture capital.  A year later in September 1998 eBay went public and became a billion dollar company.

Today eBay is a worldwide brand with hundreds of million registered users and 15,000 employees.  eBay owns other popular entities including PayPal, Half.com, a portion of Skype among other companies.
