EBAY INC. REPORTS STRONG FIRST QUARTER 2010 RESULTS

San Jose, Calif., April 21, 2010 — eBay Inc. (Nasdaq: EBAY) today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2010. The e-commerce company posted first-quarter revenue of $2.2 billion, up 9% year over year, or up 18% excluding Skype. The increase was due to growth in the Payments and Marketplaces businesses, as well as a positive impact from foreign currency movements against the U.S. dollar. The company recorded net income on a GAAP basis of $397.7 million or $0.30 per diluted share, and non-GAAP net income of $554.2 million or $0.42 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2010.

GAAP operating margin increased to 22.2% for the quarter, compared to 20.9% for the same period last year. Non-GAAP operating margin decreased slightly to 30.6% for the quarter, compared to 30.7% for the same period last year, as productivity gains were offset by faster growth in the company’s lower margin PayPal business and lower take rates.

eBay Inc. generated $418.3 million of operating cash flow and $266.0 million of free cash flow during the first quarter. Operating cash flow and free cash flow were reduced by a one-time tax payment of $207.4 million related to a legal entity restructuring, as a result of which the company moved approximately $1.1 billion in cash to the U.S. in the fourth quarter of 2009.

“Our first quarter results reflect another strong step toward achieving our three-year growth and profitability goals,” said eBay Inc. President and CEO John Donahoe. “We are becoming a more customer-focused and technology-driven company, delivering more innovative products and experiences, and driving operating efficiencies to reinvest in growth. We are improving the fundamentals of our business, strengthening eBay Marketplaces and aggressively growing PayPal to become the leader in global online payments.”

Business Unit Discussion

Payments Business Delivers Record First Quarter Performance and Expands Global Footprint

The Payments business unit reported $21.3 billion in net total payment volume (TPV) for the quarter, an increase of 35% year over year. Revenue for the quarter was $809.3 million, an increase of 26% year over year. The growth in revenue and net TPV was driven primarily by continued momentum in PayPal’s Merchant Services business and growth on the eBay platform. PayPal continued to increase its penetration on eBay and across other e-commerce platforms around the globe. The Payments business remains focused on consumer and merchant adoption on and off eBay, expansion of PayPal’s open platform initiative and the ongoing integration of Bill Me Later.

Other Q1 Payments Business Highlights:

•

Entered into a new payment services agreement with China UnionPay (CUP), which will provide international retailers with access to customers holding more than 2.1 billion CUP cards.

•

Signed a deal with Facebook that allows users to select PayPal to buy virtual goods in the Facebook gift shop. Businesses around the world can also launch marketing campaigns on Facebook and pay with PayPal.

•

Launched new “Send Money” app for the iPhone, which was downloaded more than one million times in less than three weeks. The app features conveniences such as “bump” money transfers and split check and collect money features.

•

Since the launch of PayPal X in Q4 2009, thousands of developers have signed up on X.com and have built hundreds of apps that have already generated more than $30 million in TPV.

Marketplaces Performance Reflects Continued Turnaround Momentum

The Marketplaces business unit, which consists of eBay, Shopping.com, StubHub, eBay Classifieds and other e-commerce sites, recorded $13.4 billion in gross merchandise volume (GMV) excluding vehicles for the quarter, a 24% year-over-year increase. The Marketplaces business unit benefited from the acceleration of growth in sold items driven by eBay’s fixed-price format, and from the inclusion of Gmarket. Revenue was $1.4 billion for the quarter, a 13% increase compared to the first quarter of 2009. The year-over-year increase was due primarily to growth across all of the company’s e-commerce businesses, as well as the inclusion of Gmarket and the positive impact from foreign currency movements against the U.S. dollar. Marketplaces benefited from growth both in its domestic and international business, which accounted for approximately 60% of Marketplaces revenue for the first quarter. The Marketplaces business will continue to focus on trust, value and selection in its core business, driving GMV growth, and expanding alternative formats including classifieds.

Other Q1 Marketplaces Business Highlights:

•

Aligned eBay’s success with sellers of all sizes with free auction listings and dramatically reduced listing fees for fixed-priced items in the U.S.

•

Rolled out eBay Buyer Protection in the U.S. and U.K., providing a new level of customer support and trust, including an offer to cover a buyer’s purchase price and original shipping for most purchases should a problem arise and the seller is unable to resolve the issue.

•

Launched three new buying and selling mobile applications including an eBay app for the iPad, which delivers a visually compelling experience to browse the vast selection of products on eBay. eBay’s popular iPhone shopping app has been downloaded more than 8.5 million times since Q3 2008.

•

Introduced Fashion.ebay.com, a new shopping destination for clothing, shoes and accessories that showcases the breadth of new, vintage, branded and designer merchandise available on eBay.

On November 19, 2009, we completed the sale of Skype to an investor group for cash, a subordinated note and an equity stake of approximately 30 percent in the outstanding capital stock of the entity that purchased Skype (which is now named Skype). Accordingly, Skype’s operating results are not consolidated in our 2010 results. However, Skype’s results of operations are consolidated in our 2009 results through the date of sale. Our non-controlling interest in Skype is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

Revenues are attributed to U.S. and international geographies primarily based upon the country in which the seller, payment recipient, customer, website that displays advertising, other service provider or, until the sale of Skype on November 19, 2009, the Skype user’s Internet protocol address, as the case may be, is located.

eBay Inc.

Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance

To supplement the company’s condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, eBay uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income excluding Skype, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate, and free cash flow.

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with eBay’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. These measures should only be used to evaluate eBay’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.

Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found in the tables included on pages 12, 14 and 15 of this press release.

These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the company’s current financial performance and the company’s prospects for the future. Specifically, the company believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses, and net purchases of property and equipment that may not be indicative of its core operating results and business outlook. In addition, because eBay has historically reported certain non-GAAP results to investors, the company believes the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in the company’s financial reporting.

For its internal budgeting process, and as discussed further below, eBay’s management uses financial statements that do not include stock-based compensation expense, employer payroll taxes on stock-based compensation, amortization or impairment of acquired intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, significant gains or losses from the disposal of a business, restructuring-related charges and the income taxes associated with the foregoing. In addition to the corresponding GAAP measures, eBay’s management also uses the foregoing non-GAAP measures in reviewing the financial results of eBay.

eBay excludes the following items from non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP effective tax rate:

Stock-based compensation expense. This expense consists of expenses for stock options, restricted stock and employee stock purchases. eBay excludes stock-based compensation expenses from its non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses that management does not believe are reflective of ongoing operating results. eBay also excludes its proportionate share of Skype’s stock-based compensation expense.

Employer payroll taxes on stock-based compensation. This amount is dependent on eBay’s stock price and the timing and size of exercises by employees of their stock options and the vesting of their restricted stock, over which management has limited to no control, and as such management does not believe it correlates to eBay’s operation of the business.

Amortization or impairment of acquired intangible assets, impairment of goodwill and significant gains or losses from the disposal of a business. eBay incurs amortization or impairments of acquired intangible assets and goodwill in connection with acquisitions and may incur significant gains or losses from the disposal of a business. eBay also excludes its proportionate share of Skype’s amortization of acquired intangibles expense. eBay also settled a legal exposure in conjunction with the disposal of a business. eBay’s results are also impacted by hedge transactions related to unique movements of cash from significant business acquisitions or dispositions. eBay excludes these items which management does not believe has any direct correlation to the current operating results of eBay’s business.

Restructuring. These charges consist of expenses for employee severance and other exit and disposal costs. eBay excludes restructuring charges primarily because management does not believe they are reflective of ongoing operating results.

Income taxes associated with certain non-GAAP entries. This amount is used to present stock-based compensation and the other amounts described above on an after-tax basis consistent with the presentation of non-GAAP net income.

In addition to the non-GAAP measures discussed above, eBay also uses free cash flow. Free cash flow represents operating cash flows less net purchases of property and equipment. eBay considers free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after the purchases of property, buildings, and equipment, which can then be used to, among other things, invest in eBay’s business, make strategic acquisitions, and repurchase stock. A limitation of the utility of free cash flow as a measure of financial performance is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the company’s cash balance for the period.

The presentation of non-GAAP net income excluding Skype, does not include Skype’s results of operations that were consolidated in our 2009 results through the date of sale (November 19, 2009).
