COMMON STOCK
This prospectus relates to 10,000,000 shares of common stock of eBay Inc.
that may be offered and issued from time to time in connection with acquisitions
of other businesses, assets or securities.
The amount and type of consideration we will offer and the other specific
terms of each acquisition will be determined by negotiations with the owners or
the persons who control the businesses, assets or securities to be acquired. We
may structure business acquisitions in a variety of ways, including acquiring
stock, other equity interests or assets of the acquired business or merging the
acquired business with us or one of our subsidiaries. We expect that the price
of the shares we issue will be related to their market price, either when we
agree to the particular acquisition, when we issue the shares, or during some
other negotiated period. We may be required to provide further information by
means of a post-effective amendment to the registration statement or a
supplement to this prospectus once we know the actual information concerning a
specific acquisition.
We will pay all expenses of this offering. We do not expect to pay any
underwriting discounts or commissions in connection with issuing these shares,
although we may pay finder's fees in specific acquisitions. Any person receiving
a finder's fee may be deemed an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities
Act of 1933.
We may also permit individuals or entities who have received or will
receive shares of our common stock in connection with the acquisitions described
above to use this prospectus to cover resales of those shares. If this happens,
we will not receive any proceeds from such shares. See "Selling Stockholders"
for the identity of any such individuals or entities.
Our common stock is quoted on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol
"EBAY." We will make an application to list these shares on the Nasdaq National
Market. The last reported sales price of our common stock on the Nasdaq National
Market on June 18, 2001 was $62.98 per share.
INVESTING IN OUR COMMON STOCK INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. SEE "RISK FACTORS"
BEGINNING ON PAGE 2.
The shares offered or sold under this prospectus have not been approved by
the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities commission, nor
have these organizations determined that this prospectus is accurate or
complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
