eBAY STARTS NEW YEAR AS NUMBER ONE E-COMMERCE SITE
SAN JOSE, Calif., January 18, 2000 — eBay® (NASDAQ: EBAY; http://www.ebay.com/), the world's leading person-to-person online trading community, today announced that it has set a new record high in the number of average daily unique visitors coming to its site and overall reach on the Internet. According to the recent Weekly Flash from Media Metrix, eBay's daily reach topped 6.5 percent, outpacing the number two site by 58 percent, and the number of unique visitors on a average daily basis set a new record of 1.782 million.
"Our unique community of passionate buyers and sellers continue to take eBay to new heights," said Meg Whitman, eBay's president and CEO. "Also, more new items were posted on eBay in the first ten days of January than the largest rival has been able to muster in six months, showing once again that eBay is the best place to trade practically anything on Earth."
"eBay has made it so simple and effortless to sell what I have and that is the key to my success," said Edward Ciliberti, an eBay user and antique business owner based in Monterey, CA. "At first I was hesitant to sell online because I thought it would be difficult, but since I started on eBay three months ago, I have already sold over $75,000 worth of merchandise. It's very exciting and I could never have done it without eBay.
