eBay is the primary online auction website in the world (which has also since expanded into "buy it now" shopping as well), that continues to grow and thrive. In fact, eBay is one of the largest buying and selling networks on the internet, where customers can buy and sell just about anything. As the 20th anniversary of this website approaches in 2017, look at how this company got its start and how far it has come today.

eBay was started in San Jose, California in early September of 1995 by a computer programmer named Pierre Omidyar who was at the time in his late twenties. The site was meant to be a marketplace for the sale of goods and services for individuals. Omidyar’s idea for this kind of site came from his realization that IPOs were becoming more tilted toward certain investors, and he felt that it would be fairer if everyone could compete on price when shopping online. His idea was to create a site where anyone could buy and sell items for market price. He didn’t know anything about auctions, but he decided it would be an ideal way to have a free and open market. So on September 3rd when Omidyar completed his programming (he had been coding all weekend) and eBay launched, it was a website that allowed users to list items, view items and place bids. At the time he called the website AuctionWeb. The reason why ebay has been able to carve a niche is attributed to its unique business plan. The site allows individuals or businesses to list new things or used items at a relatively low price. The online site has also gained the status of being the only ecommerce shopping site till date which introduces buyers and sellers in a manner where sellers are permitted to list items for sale and buyers to bid on items of interest.
