RANDOM TIDBITS

The online auction website eBay was founded as AuctionWeb
in San Jose, California, on September 3, 1995, by French-
born Iranian computer programmer Pierre Omidyar.

The very first item sold on eBay was a broken laser pointer
for $14.83.

If eBay employed the people who earn all or most of their
income selling on its site, it would be the second-largest
employer on the FORTUNE 500, after Wal-Mart.

DRYER BALLS - The Natural Fabric Softener...
Going Green Has Never Been So Easy!

TV Price: $9.99
OUR PRICE: $5.99
Get two sets for $9.98

Dryer Balls are the safe, natural, easy way to soften
fabrics while saving money on fabric softeners, dryer
sheets and energy. Best of all...There's No Chemicals!

The unique design relaxes the fibers during the drying
cycle leaving clothes softer and towels more absorbent.

As they tumble around in the dryer they lift and separate
fabrics allowing air to flow more efficiently thus
reducing drying time up to 25%.

Use them over and over again and they last for years! Each
package contains 2 Reusable, Non-Toxic Dryer Balls. Do
yourself and the environment a favor and grab a set. Visit:

A toy is sold every 24 seconds on eBay Australia. Every
minute a cell phone sells on eBay UK. A piece of jewelry
sells every 6 minutes on eBay India.

***

eBay engineers have to add about 10 terabytes of new
storage every week to cover new transactions.eBay has such
high margins partly because it has no factories or
inventory, but also because its customers do the work.

***

eBay has already expanded to almost two dozen countries
including China and India. The only places where expansion
failed were Taiwan and Japan, where Yahoo! had a head start.
