This excerpt taken from the EBAY 10-K filed Feb 17, 2010. Product Development
Product development expenses consist primarily of employee compensation, contractor costs, facilities costs and depreciation on equipment. Product development expenses are net of required capitalization of major site and other product development efforts, including the development of our next generation platform architecture, migration of certain platforms, seller tools and Payments services projects. These capitalized costs totaled $105.4 million in 2009, $112.7 million in 2008 and $110.6 million in 2007, and are primarily reflected as a cost of net revenues when amortized in future periods. Product development expenses increased by $77.5 million, or 11%, in 2009 compared to 2008. Product development also increased as a percentage of revenue in 2009 compared to 2008. The increase in both dollars and as a percentage of revenue was due primarily to an increase in employee-related and consultant costs driven by increased investment in our top technology priorities: search, catalog, platform, and user experience. Product development expenses increased $105.9 million, or 17%, in 2008 compared to 2007.

Product development expenses are net of required capitalization of major site and other product development efforts, including the development of our next generation platform architecture, migration of certain platforms, seller tools and Payments services projects. These capitalized costs totaled $26.0 million and $24.7 million during the first quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively, and are primarily reflected as a cost of net revenues when amortized in future periods. Product development expenses increased in the first quarter of 2009 by $24.8 million, or 14%, compared to the same period of the prior year. Product development also increased as a percentage of revenue, period over period. The increase in both dollars and as a percentage of revenue, was due primarily to an increase in employee-related costs (including consultant costs, facility costs and equipment-related costs) driven by increased investment in our top technology priorities – search, catalog, platform, and user experience.

compensation, contractor costs, facilities costs and

of required capitalization of major site and other product
development efforts, including the development of our next
generation platform architecture, migration of certain
platforms, seller tools and Payments services projects. These

$110.6 million in 2007 and $67.9 million in 2006, and
are primarily reflected as a cost of net revenues when amortized
in future periods.
Product development expenses increased $105.9 million, or
17%, in 2008 compared to 2007 due primarily to an increase in
staffing, consultant costs, facility costs and equipment related
costs to support several platform development initiatives to
enhance the user experience and expand our existing product
offerings primarily across our Marketplaces and Payments
segments. Product development expenses as a percentage of net
revenues increased slightly from 2007 as we added capacity at a
faster rate than we generated revenue.
Product development expenses increased $125.0 million, or
25%, in 2007 compared to 2006 due primarily to an increase in
staffing, consultant costs, facility costs and equipment related
costs to support several platform development initiatives to
enhance the user experience and expand our existing product
offerings primarily across our Marketplaces and Payments
segments. Product development expenses as a percentage of net
revenues decreased slightly from 2006 as we continued to add
capacity at a slower rate than we generated revenue.

The increase in product development expense in the third quarter
and first nine months of 2008 of $26.0 million and
$104.0 million, respectively, compared to the same periods
in the prior year was due primarily to an increase in employee
related and contractor costs, including stock-based compensation
expense, to support several platform development initiatives to
enhance the user experience and expand our existing product
offerings.
For the remainder of 2008, compared to the same period in 2007,
we expect product development expense will continue to increase
in total and increase slightly as a percentage of net revenues
as we develop new site features and functionality and continue
to expand our existing product offerings.

The increase in product development expense of
$166.5 million during 2006 was due primarily to the
addition of employees, contractors and consultants to support

Marketplaces, Payments and Communications segments and the
effect of stock-based compensation expense related to equity
awards and employee stock purchases under FAS 123(R).
Employee-related and consultant costs, excluding stock-based

2006 compared to the prior year. Stock-based compensation
expense of $81.5 million was included in product
development expense in 2006 compared to $6.5 million in
2005. Stock-based compensation expense increased due to our
implementation of FAS 123(R) at the beginning of 2006.
For 2008, product development expense is expected to increase in
total and as a percentage of net revenues as we develop new site
features and functionality and invest in strategic product-based
initiatives.
