Few businesses have demonstrated the unique benefits of the
internet as thoroughly as eBay,
a highly profitable combination of peer-to-peer shopping network and traditional auction house which matches buyers and sellers in almost 40 countries around the globe. Anything legal can be bought and sold on eBay, from low-priced mainstream consumer
products to the most obscure collectors' items or even the totally bizarre. Gross value of goods sold during 2010 was almost $62bn, and the community includes more than 94m active users worldwide. Its impressive profit margins have made eBay one of the
world's most valuable internet businesses, second only to Google.
One of the company's comparatively few missteps was its high-priced acquisition of VoIP pioneer Skype. Having failed to establish
any meaningful synergies with its online auction business, eBay sold a controlling stake in Skype in 2009. Online payments service Paypal has proved a more lucrative venture, and now contributes more than a third of revenues. The group acquired digital marketing agency GSI Commerce
in 2011.
