The History Of eBay Stock

When eBay sold its first item in 1995, it was known as AuctionWeb, the brainchild of founder Pierre Omidyar, who reportedly started the site as a way to help his fiancée with her Pez dispenser collection. The history of eBay stock is a startup success story and a cautionary tale, all in one.

1998 Public Offering

Between the time of that first sale and 1998, when eBay stock was publicly sold for the first time, the site grew exponentially in revenue and popularity. As detailed in the eBay biography book, eBay: The Perfect Store, the initial public offering was fraught with controversy.

In its early days, much of eBay's growth could be attributed to users who, enthusiastic about the Internet and the instant community experience it provided, volunteered hundreds of hours worth of their own time to make the site better.

Use eBay Coupons To Improve Your Sales


Selling on eBay is a competitive business, and sellers are always looking for ways to improve their sales. Offering eBay coupons is one effective way to multiply your sales.

Offering eBay Coupons In A Newsletter

The eBay website allows you to send a seller's newsletter to customers who have previously purchased items from you or who have elected to receive mailings from you. Don't take the loyalty of these customers for granted. Send regular newsletters to this group and watch its size grow. Tell your customers about special items you are preparing for sale and about any upcoming sales you are featuring. Include an eBay coupon – a code they can use during the checkout process – to get a percentage discount on any one item, or to provide free shipping or some other promotion.

Offering eBay Coupons As Incentive To Buy

Another way to maximize your sales with eBay coupons is to offer coupons with a sale. These coupons are a great strategy for attracting repeat business. If the customer makes a purchase, he or she receives an eBay coupon that is good for free shipping, or 25% off of their next purchase from you.
