Ebay is a huge and well known company and internet auction site. It is not that old and yet it is one of the most populated and most used websites on the internet. People use ebay to sell their items whether they own a business or not and people that merchandise use ebay to buy their products online. They prefer ebay because usually the products are much cheaper than any retail store.
Well I am not here to talk about ebay today but about the other companies and websites this franchise owns. Ebay is international and can be found in many European and Asian countries. Especially places like Hong Kong and United Kingdom, Ebay is very popular as United States merchants ship internationally. Below is a list of all the website and company names Ebay owns.
- Half.com
- Kijiji
- PayPal
- ProStores
- Rent.com
- Shopping.com
- Skype
- StubHub
- StumbleUpon (my favorite social bookmarking website)
I doubt ebay will stop buying or even making more sites to help out its customers in a better way. Its purchase of PayPal was the best decision they made in my opinion since they can better control and monitor the transactions of their users.
