This site was originally owned by Echo Bay Technology Group, Omidyar consulting firm. Omidyar had tried to register a domain name "EchoBay.com" but that name was already owned by someone else, so he shortened his name to "eBay.com". eBay Inc. is headquartered in San Jose, California, Meg Whitman eBay has become president and CEO since March 1998. The success of e-bay has become an inspiration for many other auction companies that spread throughout the world. Ideas than eBay is one example of the phenomenon of the "Long Tail" described by Chris Andersen same through his book "The Long Tail", which will create the ideal market in which the diversity of the goods sold will be more and more, while fewer in number.
