The Future For eBay
|
eBay has become a rather complex beast since it was founded in September 1995, by Pierre Omidyar, a French-born programmer who was previously an engineer at General Magic, a mobile communications company. eBay owns Shopping.com, PayPal; an online payment service, has acquired Skype, an Internet calling service; StubHub, a ticketing exchange, and several classified advertising sites around the world, including Kijiji.com. Recently the company has had a number of challenges to its strategies. The overall growth has slowed in its core auctions business. Amazon.com has begun to pull independent sellers away from eBay; and Google has started its own payment system, called Checkout; which is treading on PayPal’s toes somewhat. eBay now needs to encourage regrowth in the core auction business, which would then justify its 2005 acquisition of Skype, which cost a small fortune.
