Best Answer

The E in eBay stands for Echo.

Pierre Omidyar had originally named the company Echo Bay Technology. Sadly, when trying to register the domain name "echobay.com" he found that it was already being used. The site name was shortened to "ebay.com" and the rest is history.

eBay is an online marketplace where both individuals and businesses can buy and sell goods and services to people around the world.

One important thing to note is that eBay only provides the platform for buyers and sellers to meet.

This means that eBay does not keep stocks of goods, nor do they dispatch your purchase to you. Anything that you buy from eBay will come to you direct from the seller that you are transacting with.
Ebay is a us online shopping sit. It is a very popular site.
