Company Overview
eBay Inc. operates marketplace platforms that connect buyers and sellers in the United States and internationally. The company's Marketplace platform includes its online marketplace at ebay.com and the eBay suite of mobile apps.
Revenue Sources
eBay's primary revenue comes from marketplace transaction fees and advertising services. While the platform may host some listings for prohibited items, eBay has strict policies against the sale of alcohol, tobacco, drugs, and adult content. The company actively enforces these policies and removes prohibited listings. The revenue from potentially problematic listings appears to be incidental and well below the 2.5% threshold.
Reliance on Interest
| Reporting Date | Total Revenue | Total Expense | Interest Income | Interest Expense | Interest Income Ratio | Interest Expense Ratio |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sept. 30, 2024 | $2.58b | $1.98b | - | $-3,000,000.0 | 0.00% | 0.15% |

Based on the financial data from the last four quarters, eBay's interest expenses have been minimal relative to total expenses. Interest expense ratios for the past four quarters have consistently remained well below 5% of total expenses, indicating that interest-based activities are not a significant part of the company's business model.
Operational Ethics
While eBay operates globally, including in China, there is no evidence of direct material collaboration with the Chinese Communist Party. The company does not maintain R&D centers or significant operations in Israel. Their operations appear to be primarily focused on providing marketplace services without substantial ties to entities involved in human rights violations.
