What is ebay?

Ebay is the self proclaimed 'World's Online Marketplace'. It was founded on September 4th, 1995 by Pierre Omidyar, a computer programmer. Rumors state it was originally created to help Pierre's fiancee trade her PEZ candy dispensers with others around the world. This was found to be fabricated in 2002 in The Perfect Store: Inside eBay a book written by Adam Cohen and confimed by ebay.
