I wouldn't know how to find eBay on the computer if my life depended on it.

I think when you get interested in antiques, the most frustrating thing is that books don't have enough photos. When you go to a flea market or garage sale, you see lots of things you've never seen before and you have no idea what the price is going to be or should be.

EBay is a great company. There are a lot of good assets and good customers, and the U.S. people love it.

What makes eBay successful - the real value and the real power at eBay - is the community. It's the buyers and sellers coming together and forming a marketplace.

eBay's business is based on enabling someone to do business with another person, and to do that, they first have to develop some measure of trust, either in the other person or the system.

eBay started with a core focus on the collector. At the time of its S-1, six or seven percent of its total sales were Beanie Babies.

I spend far too much time on eBay buying lamps and upholstery remnants.

Guess what? The world changes. eBay has defined e-commerce.

The first time you went to eBay, you probably didn't do a transaction.

A captivating moment was when I realized that people, including myself, were not saying, 'I just bought an item on eBay.' They were saying, 'I just won an item on eBay.' It was the thrill of the hunt. I bought a car on eBay.
