AuctionWeb, which later became eBay, was established in California on September 3, 1995 by Pierre Omidyar, a French Iranian-American programmer. Initially part of a broader personal site, AuctionWeb's first notable sale was a defective laser pointer auctioned for $14.83. Omidyar, surprised by this sale, contacted the buyer to confirm their understanding of the item's condition. The buyer responded, stating they collected broken laser pointers.

In September 1997, the company officially rebranded from AuctionWeb to eBay. Originally, the website was under Echo Bay Technology Group, a firm founded by Omidyar. Attempting to register echobay.com, Omidyar found it taken by Echo Bay Mines, a gold mining company. Consequently, he chose eBay.com as the next best domain name option.

eBay relies on external shipping services for delivering goods purchased on their platform, as they do not manage logistics or handle parcel deliveries internally. Typically, sellers are responsible for communicating the courier and expected delivery timeframe to buyers.

The primary couriers commonly used for eBay deliveries when opting for US Standard Shipping within the contiguous United States include:

• UPS
• USPS
• FedEx

Nevertheless, should you opt to ship internationally, the shipping procedure may involve one or multiple courier services as your package travels across different countries. Moreover, the selection of the courier will be contingent upon the dimensions and weight of your package, as well as the ultimate destination of the order. To monitor the progress of your package, even in cases of international shipments that may transition through several couriers, customers simply need to input their tracking ID on our website to obtain real-time updates on the current status and whereabouts of their parcel or package.
