eBay

Incorporated in 1995, the company has established its headquarters in San Jose, California, United States, and has grown into a substantial presence in the e-commerce sector. The core business categories that have been central to its operations include its Marketplace, classifieds, and the former segment StubHub, which was sold in 2020. The company's primary brand, eBay Marketplace, is recognized globally for its online auction and retail platforms, catering to both individual consumers and small businesses. Although the eBay Classifieds Group was once a vital part of the company, handling various classified business operations internationally, this segment was divested. Notable brands within this group, such as Gumtree and Kijiji, were part of the company's extensive portfolio. PayPal also stands out as a significant brand historically associated with the company until it became independent in 2015. The company has a broad international footprint, with key markets that extend across the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Canada, France, Italy, Spain, and India. Despite a challenging past in China, the company once operated there as an aspect of its global reach. (Powered by AI)
