The online world is spawning all kinds of businesses (known as e-commerce to the technorati), and eBay is the superstar. You've probably got the drift about eBay by now. Since its beginnings in Pierre Omidyar's kitchen, eBay has become a household word. Even if you're not into pop culture, you still find mentions of eBay all over the place. Pierre and his buddy, Jeff Skoll, had a pretty great idea back in 1995; they created a safe and fun place for folks to shop from the comfort of their homes.
Originally, the site grew - person by person - across the country (and soon around the world) as people peddled their own stuff from their homes and collections. Now, eBay is also a marketplace for new merchandise. People figured out a way to buy at wholesale and resell merchandise online for a profit. Nowadays you can purchase new and useful items, such as alarm systems, fancy electronic toothbrushes, batteries, clothing, cars, homes - just about anything you can think of.
