Founding[edit]
eBay was founded on 3 September 1995, which was in the summer, not in the fall, of 1995, as the article claims.98.149.97.245 (talk) 13:44, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

Byzantine complaints process[edit]
Something should be said about how very extremely difficult or impossible it is to complain directly to ebay, or contact them, when something goes wrong. This prevents the "money back guarantee" from working. 92.3.48.12 (talk) 15:04, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
- Do you have some reliable sources reporting on this? --jpgordon𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇 16:05, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
Arstechnica: eBay execs sent roaches and “bloody pig mask” to harass journalists, feds say[edit]
Not sure how or where to include this but is probably important, they were executives when this allegedly happened

- @John Cummings: I added it to EBay#2010s in the latest three edits. Feel free to add refs, improve, etc. Notrium (talk) 21:48, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Notrium:. It should be in the controversies section and it needs to be expanded TheMemeMonarch (talk) 01:47, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
- @TheMemeMonarch: my view is that "Controversy and criticism" would be for cases of somebody outside Ebay (notably) criticizing Ebay. Are you aware of WP:CRITS? It seems to me we should actually get rid of the criticism section we currently have. Notrium (talk) 01:54, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
- Expand it all you want, though. Notrium (talk) 01:55, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
- It is shameful that while the "scandal" claims, correctly, the then CEO has not been criminally charged, his order to his subordinate to "take [the journalist] down" isn't mentioned! It's clearly notable and on record. I note (editorialize) that ebay executives engaged in domestic terrorism and actually went so far at to attempt to break-in to the journalist's house. The ex-CEO claims his communication has been taken out of context and he never told his staff to break the law. The problem with that is that it is not only his job to make sure he communicates clearly, but to follow-up to make sure it is understood and acted upon correctly. He is defendant in a civil suit brought by eBay's victims.174.130.71.156 (talk) 09:46, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Misspelling of the word "thinner"[edit]
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
In the "Logo" section of the article under the "Corporate Affairs" category (Section 2.2) there is a typo of the word "thinner". Suggestion: change "thinnner" to "thinner". Mdibble (talk) 22:41, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
- Done. Thanks for pointing that out. Pupsterlove02 talk • contribs 00:28, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
The year 2021 is misaligned in the table under the sub-heading 'Profit and transactions'[edit]
In the table under the sub-heading 'Profit and transactions', the year 2021 is misaligned. This makes the table look unprofessional in my opinion. Xboxsponge15 (talk) 09:11, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
