About eBay
eBay was born over Labor Day weekend in 1995, when Pierre Omidyar, a computer programmer, wrote the code for an auction website that he ran from his home computer.
Today, Omidyar's hobby is known as eBay, the world's largest online marketplace - where practically anyone can sell practically anything at any time. It's an idea that BusinessWeek once called "nothing less than a virtual, self-regulating global economy."
With a presence in 39 markets, including the U.S., and approximately 84 million active users worldwide, eBay has changed the face of Internet commerce. In 2007, the total value of sold items on eBay's trading platforms was nearly $60 billion. This means that eBay users worldwide trade more than $1,900 worth of goods on the site every second.

(1) Remark on eBay Search Engines
I appreciate you making reports available. It seems so interesting. I'm just happy I still have no problem making a living on eBay! And my sales were very high in December. Usually January is my best month, so we will see what the New Year brings. Wishing you tons of success in 2009!
