eBay Inc. ist ein US-amerikanisches Unternehmen, das einen der größten Online-Marktplätze betreibt. Es wurde am 3. September 1995 von Pierre Omidyar in San José (Kalifornien) unter dem Namen AuctionWeb gegründet. Auch in Europa, etwa in Deutschland, der Schweiz und Österreich, bietet das Unternehmen seine Dienstleistungen an. Bis zum 17. Juli 2015 gehörte auch der Bezahldienst PayPal zum Unternehmen. Im Laufe der Jahre erweiterte sich das Angebot von einem Consumer-to-Consumer-Marktplatz mit flohmarktähnlichem Charakter zu einer Business-to-Consumer-Plattform, das heißt, es wird Neuware von kommerziellen Händlern angeboten, im Unterschied zu den Gebrauchtwaren privater Anbieter.
