eBay
Previously known as AuctionWeb, eBay was founded in Pierre Omidyar's San Jose living room back in September 1995. It was meant from the start to be a marketplace for the sale of goods and services for individuals. Later they shed the image of only auctioning collectibles and moved into an array of upscale markets. The company maintains a number of specialty sites, like eBay Plus that provides information about popular search terms and most watched items, the Discussion Boards, Groups, Answer Center, Chat Rooms and Reviews and Guides.
