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

I've been lucky enough to be involved in a number of great startups, including eBay and Wikia as an entrepreneur and LinkedIn and Paypal as an investor.

For me, the international expansion of eBay was the best idea. We are now in 35 countries, and have a huge global network. The second best one was the acquisition of PayPal - the wallet on eBay.

As I started college, I started to build software products that I could sell to people over the Web.

When I first started doing work on how the Internet is affecting commerce, like a lot of people, I was really excited by this nearly perfect market.

I loved Internet businesses, having built and sold one. And I loved the financial business, despite the fact that it was almost all a scam.

It was something of a personal challenge for me to come up with a business suitable for the Internet world and the Internet age.

My vision is to build an e-commerce ecosystem that allows consumers and businesses to do all aspects of business online.

When I started eBay, it was a hobby, an experiment to see if people could use the Internet to be empowered through access to an efficient market. I actually wasn't thinking about it in terms of a social impact.

Most of all, I discovered that in order to succeed with a product you must truly get to know your customers and build something for them.
