Talk about a great idea that turned into exceptional success. My hat's off to Pierre Omidyar, Ebay's founder and chairman for his vision and one of the best ideas that ever came along. This is the initial history as described on Ebay's Website. The History eBay was conceived initially as a result of a conversation between Pierre Omidyar and his wife, an avid Pez™ collector (she currently covets a collection of more than 400 dispensers). She commented to Pierre how great it would be if she were able to collect Pez dispensers and interact with other collectors over the Internet. As an early Internet enthusiast, Pierre knew that people needed a central location to buy and sell unique items and to meet other users with similar interests. He started eBay to fulfill this need. Pierre launched eBay on Labor Day in September 1995. Notable Ebay History Events From its beginnings, eBay has been an innovator in internet commerce. I do lots of business on eBay and I highly recommend it to anyone. It's fun and it's easy. There are lots of other auction sites who tried to ride the wave started by eBay, but none can compare. |
