This excerpt taken from the EBAY 10-K filed Feb 17, 2010. Marketplaces Net Transaction Revenues Marketplaces net transaction revenues decreased $249.2 million, or 5%, in 2009 compared to 2008, while GMV excluding vehicles increased 1% in 2009 compared to 2008. The decrease in net transaction revenues was due primarily to the negative impact of foreign currency movements against the U.S. dollar; pricing initiatives, including larger discounts given to our highest-rated sellers (recorded as a reduction in revenue); and a decline in revenue generated from our vehicles category offset in part by the inclusion of revenue generated from Gmarket (acquired June 2009). Marketplaces net transaction revenues increased $30.2 million, or 1%, in 2008 compared to 2007. GMV excluding vehicles increased 3% due primarily to an increase in Marketplaces’ second largest category, consumer electronics. Although we achieved growth in the number of sold items on our eBay Marketplaces trading platforms in 2008, the average selling price declined compared to 2007 primarily as a result of consumer buying patterns in a weakening global economic environment. Expenditures for buyer incentive programs, which are generally recorded as a reduction in revenue, reduced revenue growth by approximately 400 basis points in 2008. In addition, pricing discounts and changes had a negative impact on 2008 revenue growth. Marketplaces net transaction revenues earned internationally were $2.4 billion in 2009 and $2.5 billion in both 2008 and 2007, representing 55%, 54% and 53% of total Marketplaces net transaction revenues, respectively.

Table of ContentsThis excerpt taken from the EBAY 10-Q filed Apr 28, 2009. Marketplaces Net Transaction Revenues Marketplaces net transaction revenues decreased $233.8 million, or 18%, during the first quarter of 2009 compared to the same period of the prior year, which is consistent with the 20% decrease in our GMV over the same period. GMV generated by our largest category, vehicles, declined 35%, in-line with the decline in the automotive market generally. Excluding vehicles, GMV decreased 16% due primarily to decreases in our consumer electronics, clothing and apparel and parts and accessories categories. The revenue decrease was attributable to the impact of a strengthening dollar and the decline of the core business in difficult macroeconomic conditions. In addition, pricing changes and seller discounts had a negative impact on revenue growth. Marketplaces net transaction revenues earned internationally declined 23% to $530.6 million during the first quarter of 2009 from $686.2 million during the first quarter of 2008, representing 51% and 54% of total Marketplaces net transaction revenues in those periods, respectively. The decline in Marketplaces net transaction revenues earned internationally is due primarily to the negative impact of foreign currency movements against the dollar.

Net Transaction Revenues
Marketplaces net transaction revenues increased
$30.2 million, or 1%, in 2008 compared to 2007, which is
consistent with our 0.5% increase in GMV over the same period.
GMV generated by our largest category, vehicles, declined 9%.
Excluding vehicles, GMV would have increased 3% due primarily to
an increase in our second largest category, consumer
electronics. Although we achieved growth in the number of sold
items on our eBay Marketplaces trading platforms, the average
selling price declined primarily as a result of consumer buying

approximately 4% in 2008. In addition, pricing discounts and
changes had a negative impact on revenue growth.
Marketplaces net transaction revenues increased
$816.3 million, or 21%, in 2007 compared to 2006 due

Net Transaction Revenues
Total net transaction revenues from Marketplaces increased 1%
and 8% during the third quarter and first nine months of 2008,
respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year.
The slight increase in net transaction revenues for the third
quarter of 2008 was primarily due to an increase in take rate
resulting from a change in category mix offset by a 1% decline
in total GMV due to slowing growth in our core Marketplaces
business and as a result of slowing consumer spending in an
uncertain economic environment more than offset the growth of
listings. The increase in net transaction revenues for the first
nine months of 2008 was due primarily to a 7%
year-over-year
growth in GMV with clothing, consumer electronics, home and
garden, tickets, parts and accessories and sports having the
most significant dollar impact, partially offset by a decrease
in vehicles GMV. Marketplaces net transaction revenue growth
rate
year-over-year
was negatively impacted by an increase in buyer and seller
incentive programs, some of which are recorded as contra-revenue.
Marketplaces net transaction revenues earned internationally
were $601.1 million and $2.0 billion during the third
quarter and first nine months of 2008, respectively, and
represented 52% and 54% of total Marketplaces net transaction
revenues during those periods, respectively. Marketplaces net
transaction revenues earned internationally were
$599.3 million and $1.8 billion during the third
quarter and first nine months of 2007, respectively, and
represented 52% of total Marketplaces net transaction revenues
during both periods. Based on changes in foreign currency rates
year over year, Marketplaces net revenues were positively
impacted by foreign currency translation of approximately
$51.7 million and $244.6 million during the third
quarter and first nine months of 2008,

respectively, as compared to net revenues that would have been
recorded had foreign currency rates remained constant. Changes
in foreign currency rates will impact our operating results and,
to the extent that the U.S. dollar strengthens, our foreign
currency denominated net revenues will be negatively impacted.
We expect our Marketplaces net transaction revenues for the
remainder of 2008, compared to the same period in 2007, to
decrease as a result of the slowing growth in our core
Marketplaces business, the uncertain global consumer spending
environment, strengthening dollar and our continued use of buyer
and seller incentives (some of which are recorded as contra
revenue).
This excerpt taken from the EBAY 10-Q filed Jul 24, 2008. Marketplaces
Net Transaction Revenues
Total net transaction revenues from Marketplaces increased 9%
and 11% during the second quarter and first six months of 2008,
respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year,
primarily as a result of 8% and 10% year-over-year growth in
GMV, respectively. GMV growth was driven primarily by an
increase in sold items during the second quarter and first six
months of 2008, compared to the same periods of the prior year,
partially offset by a decline in average selling prices year
over year. GMV growth occurred across all major categories
during the first six months of 2008, with the clothing, consumer
electronics, home, tickets, parts and accessories and vehicles
categories having the most significant dollar impact when
compared to the same period of the prior year. Marketplaces net
transaction revenue growth rate year-over-year was negatively
impacted by an increase in buyer and seller incentive programs,

rates remained constant. Changes in foreign currency rates will
impact our operating results and, to the extent that the
U.S. dollar strengthens, our foreign currency denominated

We expect Marketplaces net transactions revenues in 2008,
compared to 2007, to be heavily influenced by changes to our fee
structure, buyer and seller incentives (some of which are
recorded as contra-revenue) and standards and feedback system,
designed to increase user activity, particularly in our three
largest markets, the U.S., the U.K. and Germany. We may adjust
these changes based on the feedback from our users as well as
their impact on our operating results. The reaction of our
community of buyers and sellers to these changes and any others
we may announce could impact our revenue growth and may affect
future trends.

Net Transaction Revenues
Total net transaction revenues from Marketplaces increased 14%
during the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period of
the prior year primarily as a result of 12% growth in GMV and
the positive impact from a weaker U.S. dollar. GMV growth
was driven primarily by an increase in listings and a full
quarter of results of StubHub (which was acquired in February
2007). GMV growth occurred across all major categories, with the
motors, consumer electronics, clothing, home and tickets
categories having the most significant dollar impact when
comparing the first quarter of 2008 to the same period of the
prior year.
Marketplaces net transaction revenues earned internationally
were $686.2 million during the first quarter of 2008 and

Marketplaces net transaction revenues earned internationally
were $578.4 million during the first quarter of 2007 and

Based on changes in foreign currency rates year over year,
Marketplaces net revenues were positively impacted by foreign
currency translation of approximately $92.8 million during
the first quarter of 2008. Changes in foreign currency rates
will impact our operating results and, to the extent that the
U.S. dollar strengthens, our foreign currency denominated
net revenues will be negatively impacted.
For the remainder of 2008, we expect the amount of Marketplaces
net transaction revenues to increase, driven primarily by
increased levels of GMV.

Net Transaction Revenues
Total net transaction revenues from Marketplaces increased 22%
in 2007 compared to 2006. The increase in net transaction
revenues was the result of growth in our GMV-based businesses as
well as growth in our non-GMV-based businesses (Shopping.com,
Rent.com and our classifieds websites), which continued to grow
faster than our overall Marketplaces businesses. GMV increased
13% during 2007 compared to 2006, and was due primarily to an
increase in conversion rates and average selling prices, a
weaker U.S. dollar, and inclusion of our StubHub results
(which we acquired in February 2007). GMV growth in 2007
occurred across all major categories, with the motors, consumer
electronics, home and garden, clothing and accessories and
tickets having the most significant positive dollar impact when
compared to 2006.
Total net transaction revenues from Marketplaces increased 24%
in 2006 compared to 2005. The increase in net transaction
revenues was due primarily to growth in our GMV-based businesses
as well as growth in our non-GMV-based businesses. GMV increased
18% during 2006 compared to 2005, primarily driven by an
increase in listings and higher average selling prices offset by
lower conversion rates. GMV growth in 2006 occurred across all
major categories, with the motors, consumer electronics,
clothing and accessories, computers, home and garden,
books/movies/music, sports, and collectibles categories having
the most significant dollar impact when compared to 2005.
Marketplaces net transaction revenues earned internationally
were $2.7 billion in 2007, $2.1 billion in 2006 and
$1.7 billion in 2005, representing 52%, 50% and 49% of
total Marketplaces net transaction revenues, respectively. Based
on changes in foreign currency rates year-over-year,
Marketplaces net revenues were positively impacted by foreign
currency translation of approximately $222.4 million,
$30.6 million and $6.7 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005
respectively. Changes in foreign currency rates will impact our
operating results and, to the extent that the U.S. dollar
strengthens, our foreign currency denominated net revenues will
be negatively impacted.
In 2008, we expect Marketplaces net transaction revenues to
continue to increase, driven by increased levels of GMV and
continued growth from our non-GMV-based businesses. In January
2008, we announced changes to our fee structure, as well as
changes to our seller incentives and standards and feedback
system, on the Marketplaces platforms in an effort to increase
user activity, particularly in our three largest markets, the
U.S., U.K. and Germany. The reaction of our community of buyers
and sellers to these changes, as well as the other factors
discussed above under “Financial Summary” could impact

GMV increased 14% during the first quarter of 2007 compared to

Net Transaction Revenues
Total net transaction revenues from Marketplaces increased 24%
in 2006 and 36% in 2005, compared to the respective prior year.
The growth in net transaction revenues was the result of
increased auction transaction activity, reflected in the growth
of the number of registered users, active users, listings and
gross merchandise volume.
The number of registered users increased 23% during 2006 to
221.6 million at December 31, 2006. The number of
registered users increased 33% during 2005 to 180.6 million at
December 31, 2005. The number of active users on eBay.com
increased 14% during 2006 to 81.8 million at
December 31, 2006. Active users increased 28% during 2005
to 71.8 million at December 31, 2005. We believe that
increases in user activity are largely the result of our
promotional efforts, our emphasis on helping our user community
be successful through the introduction of new site features and
functionality, our international expansion, and expanded trust
and safety programs.
The number of items listed on eBay.com’s platforms
increased 26% to 2.4 billion in 2006, from 1.9 billion
in 2005, and increased 33% in 2005 from 1.4 billion in
2004. This percentage growth in listings was experienced across
our U.S. and international platforms. The number of stores
increased by 55% and 51% in 2006 and 2005, compared to the
respective prior year, due to the cost effective nature for
sellers to list items on our eBay Stores format.
Gross merchandise volume increased 18% in 2006 and 30% in 2005,
compared to the respective prior year. The increases in 2006 and
2005 resulted from the domestic and international growth in the
number of registered users, active users and listings. In
addition, there was gross merchandise volume growth across all
major categories, with the motors, consumer electronics,
clothing & accessories, computers, home &
garden, books/movies/music, sports, and collectibles categories
having the most significant dollar impact.
Marketplaces net transaction revenues earned internationally
totaled $2.1 billion in 2006, $1.7 billion in 2005 and
$1.2 billion in 2004, representing 50%, 49% and 46% of

foreign currency rates will impact our operating results and, to
the extent that the U.S. dollar strengthens, our foreign

e-commerce
market.
