The history of ebay
eBay was founded in 1995 by Pierre Omidyar as AuctionWeb, part of a personal site that included, Omidyar donated writings against the Ebola virus. This site was originally owned by Echo Bay Technology Group, Omidyar consulting firm. Omidyar had tried to register a domain name EchoBay.com but that name has been owned by someone else, so he shortened the name to eBay.com. eBay is headquartered in San Jose, California, has become president Meg Whitman of eBay and its CEO since March 1998
Ebay to be the biggest now that successfully take advantage of the momentum as the first to get the user as much as possible. Originally it was done by offering the service for free. Once users start a lot, then eBay began charging fees for the listing fee.
At that time, several competitors began to emerge and some even offer free listing fee. Fortunately for eBay, then the number of users on its website has reached large numbers.
In fact, when the giant Yahoo! open Yahoo! Auctions and offers a free listing fee as well, eBay is not affected. Some eBay users who had tempted bid Yahoo and switch to it eventuallyreturn to the bosom of eBay because the buyers could not find a seller that a lot, and that the seller could not find a buyer that a lot.
Here we can see how valuable the network effect. The value of eBay's already swollen tissue in such a way that even eBay to raisehis listing fee was, not many think to move to another heart.
Through this network effect, eBay managed to create a large value (exponential when compared with the number of users), and well able to get most of these values.
Interestingly, Yahoo is learning from the experience managed to reverse the situation when entering Japan. Yahoo! entry into Japan ahead of eBay and it was the only market where competition from eBay and eBay finally decided to get out of Japan.
The importance of network effects in online auction industry is making eBay and Yahoo seek mutual precedes entry into other regional markets though at first they have to lose first. (Source: bjoconsulting.com)
