Ebay Inc. (Exact Name of Registrant As Speciñed in Its Charter) Delaware 77-0430924 (State Or Other Jurisdiction of (I.R.S To Our Stockholders, Partners, Employees and the eBay Community: A Year of Accomplishments The year 2000 was a time of great accomplishments at eBay. In just 12 months, we dramatically expanded our marketplace in several important ways. For starters, we added thousands of new product categories as well as dozens of new services and site features. Our marketing and promotions eÅorts produced growing ubiquity for eBay, both on and oÅ the Internet, making more people in more places aware of eBay and bringing them to the site in greater numbers than ever before. We introduced Ñxed-price trading to our community, reaching a whole new type of user for the Ñrst time. And we continued to extend the eBay marketplace to the most productive e-commerce markets on the planet. Perhaps what makes our accomplishments in 2000 even more impressive is that they were achieved during a period of great turmoil in our industry and in a manner that signiÑcantly improved our already solid Ñnancial base. Come what may, eBay and its community prospered in 2000, and we are extremely pleased by the momentum we have going into 2001. A Thriving Marketplace At eBay we do one thing. We work every day to be the world's largest and most compelling Internet commerce platform. To further that goal in 2000, our seasoned management team stayed focused on attracting more customers, expanding the goods traded on the site, making the user experience easier, safer, more fun and exciting, and spreading the eBay marketplace to more places around the world. eBay ended the year with over 22 million registered users, representing 125 percent growth over the 10 million users we had at the end of 1999. To put that in perspective, eBay's community is now larger than the population of Texas, the second largest state in the Union. And our community is more diverse than ever, featuring homemakers, major corporations and everyone in between, buying and selling practically anything. Our users listed more than 265 million items on the site in 2000, up 104 percent from 1999. Our deepening integration into AOL's site throughout the year, as well as our enhanced aÇliates program, which in Q4 reached 13,000 partners, helped drive user growth by putting eBay in front of more people than ever before. Marketing promotions with such powerful and diverse brands as AOL Time Warner, Disney, Visa, The History Channel and General Motors, to name just a few, were also critical in reaching new users and in user retention. In 2000, eBay stepped up its oÉine marketing eÅorts by running its Ñrst national advertising campaign. And on the public relations front, eBay continued to be at the center of popular culture, receiving attention in hit TV shows, movies, and in thousands of local, regional and national news stories. One of the reasons so many people come to eBay is the variety of goods and services they can Ñnd in our marketplace. During 2000, eBay added more than 5,000 new categories, including new meta-categories such as personal care, clothing and accessories and home and garden. In the fourth quarter alone, eBay users in the clothing and accessories category transacted over $40 million in gross merchandise sales. And people are just beginning to realize that in 2000, eBay became the largest online destination for computers and electronics, used cars, toys, sporting goods, and jewelry and gemstones. The acquisition of Half.com in July was an important milestone in our history. With the acquisition, eBay formally introduced Ñxed-price trading to its community. In just a few short months, Half.com achieved tremendous results. By December, Half had more than 10 million items listed on the site and was the #3 online retailer in terms of traÇc, according to Media Metrix. Half's success, combined with the early success of our new ""Buy-It-Now'' feature, makes it clear that Ñxed-price trading will play a growing role in eBay's future. Another important milestone for eBay in 2000 was the introduction of eBay's API (application programming interface). The API will allow eBay to be fully integrated into other sites across the Internet. In addition, the API will make it possible for our commercial partners to more easily and quickly expand our services to new devices, such as wireless telephones and handhelds. Finally, the API will improve the user experience by allowing developers to create new and more robust services for eBay users. In March of 2001, eBay and Microsoft agreed to an alliance that is intended to supercharge eBay's API, extending it to Microsoft's legions of developers worldwide. Microsoft will also integrate eBay's marketplace into a number of its web properties, including select MSN sites worldwide, CarPoint, bCentral and WebTV. Throughout 2000, eBay introduced dozens of features to make the site easier and more fun to use. We added new ways for our users to list, search, trade and pay for items. Our eÅorts were rewarded with increased trading velocity. We also saw the number of transactions that closed using Billpoint, eBay's payment service, signiÑcantly increase during the second half of the year, indicating that more buyers are relying on the safety and convenience of the Billpoint payment service than ever before. Customer support was again a priority for eBay in 2000. We're happy to report that our latest surveys show that once again more than 90 percent of our users would recommend eBay to a friend. And eBay recently received the ""Best Customer Satisfaction'' award from Satmetrix. All of our accomplishments in 2000 were achieved on a strong and robust technology platform that consistently delivered at least 99 percent up time. While we are very pleased with our technology progress this past year, we know that our job is never done. We will continue to make signiÑcant investments to expand and strengthen our technology infrastructure and will begin rolling out the third generation of our platform in 2001. International Expansion To create a truly global trading platform, eBay is establishing a strong presence in countries whose populations generate the majority of the world's e-commerce revenue. In 2000, we entered four new markets Ì Japan, Canada, France and Austria. In the Ñrst eight weeks of 2001, we announced the launch of our Italian site and our entry into South Korea through the acquisition of a controlling interest in Internet Auction, South Korea's largest auction-style web site. eBay also announced the acquisition of iBazar, the pioneer in online auction-style trading in Europe. With the close of the iBazar acquisition, currently scheduled for the second quarter of 2001, as well as the recent launches of sites in Ireland, Switzerland and New Zealand, eBay will have a strong leadership position in 15 of the top 20 global markets which represent approximately 90 percent of the world's e-commerce dollars and a vast majority of the world's Internet users. Financial Stability In 2000, eBay again had record bottom line proÑts, which were driven by record user growth, revenues and gross merchandise sales. For the year, eBay reported consolidated net revenues of $431.4 million, a 92 percent increase over 1999. Consolidated pro forma net income for the full year, which excludes certain non-cash, merger and stock related charges, reached $58.6 million, or 21 cents per diluted share. This represents a more than three-fold increase in pro forma net income compared to 1999. Online net revenues totaled $392 million for the year, a 115% increase over 1999. With strong growth in the core U.S. business, rapidly growing international operations, and continuing success in adding value for both buyers and sellers, we continue to be pleased with the diversity of our revenue streams. eBay's balance sheet ended the year at $1.2 billion in total assets, including approximately $901 million in cash and Ñnancial instruments. Our Future As we push into 2001, eBay will stay focused on attracting a broad range of buyers and sellers to the site. We will introduce more categories and services to eBay as we identify relevant opportunities in the estimated $1.7 trillion market we address today. We will continue to enhance our technology infrastructure, making it possible for an ever-growing number of users to reliably transact increasing amounts of business. And we will continue to expand across the U.S. and the world, increasing our presence in both local and international markets that will ultimately enable seamless worldwide trading. eBay's goal is to be the Internet's marketplace. We strive to provide the best and most eÇcient way for our community of users to buy and sell almost anything, anytime, anywhere. We hope that our success in 2000 demonstrates that we're on our way! In 2001, eBay will continue to develop all parts of its culture. That culture includes a belief that we must contribute to the communities around us and help those who are less fortunate. The eBay Foundation will continue its eÅorts to assist non-proÑt organizations as they struggle to serve people in need of important services. And we will move forward with our eÅorts to help the nation's senior citizens overcome the ""digital divide'' by helping to provide easy access to technology and education. eBay has pledged to bring more than one million seniors online, working with its partner, SeniorNet, the largest non-proÑt trainer of seniors in the country. We have also promised to help SeniorNet establish ten education centers nationwide. As always, we want to extend our profound thanks to eBay's stockholders, partners, employees and the eBay community.

Examples of online advertising include contextual ads on search engine results pages, banner ads, advertising networks and e-mail marketing, including e-mail spam. A major result of online advertising is information and content that is not limited by geography or time. The emerging area of interactive advertising presents fresh challenges for advertisers who have hitherto adopted an interruptive strategy. Online video directories for brands are a good example of interactive advertising. These directories complement television advertising and allow the viewer to view the commercials of a number of brands. If the advertiser has opted for a response feature, the viewer may then choose to visit the brand’s website, or interact with the advertiser through other touch points such as email, chat or phone. Response to brand communication is instantaneous, and conversion to business is very high. This is because in contrast to conventional forms of interruptive advertising, the viewer has actually chosen to see the commercial.

  • 1997 LETTER to SHAREHOLDERS (Reprinted from the 1997 Annual Report)
    1997 LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS (Reprinted from the 1997 Annual Report) To our shareholders: Amazon.com passed many milestones in 1997: by year-end, we had served more than 1.5 million customers, yielding 838% revenue growth to $147.8 million, and extended our market leadership despite aggressive competitive entry. But this is Day 1 for the Internet and, if we execute well, for Amazon.com. Today, online commerce saves customers money and precious time. Tomorrow, through personalization, online commerce will accelerate the very process of discovery. Amazon.com uses the Internet to create real value for its customers and, by doing so, hopes to create an enduring franchise, even in established and large markets. We have a window of opportunity as larger players marshal the resources to pursue the online opportunity and as customers, new to purchasing online, are receptive to forming new relationships. The competitive landscape has continued to evolve at a fast pace. Many large players have moved online with credible offerings and have devoted substantial energy and resources to building awareness, traffic, and sales. Our goal is to move quickly to solidify and extend our current position while we begin to pursue the online commerce opportunities in other areas. We see substantial opportunity in the large markets we are targeting. This strategy is not without risk: it requires serious investment and crisp execution against established franchise leaders. It’s All About the Long Term We believe that a fundamental measure of our success will be the shareholder value we create over the long term. This value will be a direct result of our ability to extend and solidify our current market leadership position.

  • “Jeff, What Does Day 2 Look Like?” That's a Question I Just Got at Our
    “Jeff, what does Day 2 look like?” That’s a question I just got at our most recent all-hands meeting. I’ve been reminding people that it’s Day 1 for a couple of decades. I work in an Amazon building named Day 1, and when I moved buildings, I took the name with me. I spend time thinking about this topic. “Day 2 is stasis. Followed by irrelevance. Followed by excruciating, painful decline. Followed by death. And that is why it is always Day 1.” To be sure, this kind of decline would happen in extreme slow motion. An established company might harvest Day 2 for decades, but the final result would still come. I’m interested in the question, how do you fend off Day 2? What are the techniques and tactics? How do you keep the vitality of Day 1, even inside a large organization? Such a question can’t have a simple answer. There will be many elements, multiple paths, and many traps. I don’t know the whole answer, but I may know bits of it. Here’s a starter pack of essentials for Day 1 defense: customer obsession, a skeptical view of proxies, the eager adoption of external trends, and high-velocity decision making. True Customer Obsession There are many ways to center a business. You can be competitor focused, you can be product focused, you can be technology focused, you can be business model focused, and there are more. But in my view, obsessive customer focus is by far the most protective of Day 1 vitality.

Since 1998, the “portal” has been considered the most successful Internet business model. Portal sites have characteristics such as community facilitated by services, revenue that relies on advertising, a highly competitive market, heavy traffic, and an uncertain business. The world wide portal industry is like a battle zone for America’s top three, broad-based and vertical portals. The Web portal industry is dominated by the “top three portals,” which are AOL, Yahoo and MSN, and “vertical portals” such as Go Network and NBC. The broad-based portals --Lycos, Excite@home, AltaVista and Infoseek—do not lag far behind as major competitors. Many challenges face the three key players and broad-based portals.

Writing at the midpoint of the twentieth century, Albert Castel pronounced Jim Lane “the most colorful and fascinating personality in the history of Kansas,” adding that “Very likely, too, he was mentally unbalanced and paranoid.” Yet, James H.

    International Journal of Management & Information Systems – Fourth Quarter 2011 Volume 15, Number 4 History Of Search Engines Tom Seymour, Minot State University, USA Dean Frantsvog, Minot State University, USA Satheesh Kumar, Minot State University, USA ABSTRACT As the number of sites on the Web increased in the mid-to-late 90s, search engines started appearing to help people find information quickly. Search engines developed business models to finance their services, such as pay per click programs offered by Open Text in 1996 and then Goto.com in 1998. Goto.com later changed its name to Overture in 2001, and was purchased by Yahoo! in 2003, and now offers paid search opportunities for advertisers through Yahoo! Search Marketing. Google also began to offer advertisements on search results pages in 2000 through the Google Ad Words program. By 2007, pay-per-click programs proved to be primary money-makers for search engines. In a market dominated by Google, in 2009 Yahoo! and Microsoft announced the intention to forge an alliance. The Yahoo! & Microsoft Search Alliance eventually received approval from regulators in the US and Europe in February 2010. Search engine optimization consultants expanded their offerings to help businesses learn about and use the advertising opportunities offered by search engines, and new agencies focusing primarily upon marketing and advertising through search engines emerged. The term "Search Engine Marketing" was proposed by Danny Sullivan in 2001 to cover the spectrum of activities involved in performing SEO, managing paid listings at the search engines, submitting sites to directories, and developing online marketing strategies for businesses, organizations, and individuals.

  • ANNUAL REPORT to Our Shareowners
    2017 ANNUAL REPORT To our shareowners: The American Customer Satisfaction Index recently announced the results of its annual survey, and for the 8th year in a row customers ranked Amazon #1. The United Kingdom has a similar index, The U.K. Customer Satisfaction Index, put out by the Institute of Customer Service. For the 5th time in a row Amazon U.K. ranked #1 in that survey. Amazon was also just named the #1 business on LinkedIn’s 2018 Top Companies list, which ranks the most sought after places to work for professionals in the United States. And just a few weeks ago, Harris Poll released its annual Reputation Quotient, which surveys over 25,000 consumers on a broad range of topics from workplace environment to social responsibility to products and services, and for the 3rd year in a row Amazon ranked #1. Congratulations and thank you to the now over 560,000 Amazonians who come to work every day with unrelenting customer obsession, ingenuity, and commitment to operational excellence. And on behalf of Amazonians everywhere, I want to extend a huge thank you to customers. It’s incredibly energizing for us to see your responses to these surveys. One thing I love about customers is that they are divinely discontent. Their expectations are never static – they go up. It’s human nature. We didn’t ascend from our hunter-gatherer days by being satisfied. People have a voracious appetite for a better way, and yesterday’s ‘wow’ quickly becomes today’s ‘ordinary’. I see that cycle of improvement happening at a faster rate than ever before.

  • AMERICAN LITERARY MINIMALISM by ROBERT CHARLES
    AMERICAN LITERARY MINIMALISM by ROBERT CHARLES CLARK (Under the Direction of James Nagel) ABSTRACT American Literary Minimalism stands as an important yet misunderstood stylistic movement. It is an extension of aesthetics established by a diverse group of authors active in the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries that includes Amy Lowell, William Carlos Williams, and Ezra Pound. Works within the tradition reflect several qualities: the prose is “spare” and “clean”; important plot details are often omitted or left out; practitioners tend to excise material during the editing process; and stories tend to be about “common people” as opposed to the powerful and aristocratic. While these descriptors and the many others that have been posited over the years are in some ways helpful, the mode remains poorly defined. The core idea that differentiates American Minimalism from other movements is that prose and poetry should be extremely efficient, allusive, and implicative. The language in this type of fiction tends to be simple and direct. Narrators do not often use ornate adjectives and rarely offer effusive descriptions of scenery or extensive detail about characters’ backgrounds. Because authors tend to use few words, each is invested with a heightened sense of interpretive significance. Allusion and implication by omission are often employed as a means to compensate for limited exposition, to add depth to stories that on the surface may seem superficial or incomplete. Despite being scattered among eleven decades, American Minimalists share a common aesthetic. They were not so much enamored with the idea that “less is more” but that it is possible to write compact prose that still achieves depth of setting, characterization, and plot without including long passages of exposition.
