•The founder of eBay was : A French-born Iranian-American computer programmer
Pierre Omidyar.
•eBay was simply a side hobby for Omidyar until his internet service provider
informed him he would need to upgrade to a business account due to the high
volume of traffic to his website. The resulting price increase (from $30/month to
$250) forced him to start charging those who used eBay, and was not met with
any animosity. In fact it resulted in the hiring of Chris Agarpao as eBay's first
employee to handle the number of checks coming in for fees.
•the first selling item on Ebay was broken laser pointer for $14.83.
