Items related to The Perfect Store: Inside Ebay
eBay is one of the most successful commercial sites on the Internet. This is the story of eBay's humble beginnings, when it was launched from a spare bedroom in Pierre Omidyar's house, to its status today - with 20 million users. eBay started as a way to help Omidyar's fiancee trade with other collectors. It returned a profit in its first month and went on to change the face of business. This volume: reveals details of the company's rapid rise and the impact it has had on its users throughout the virtual marketplace; examines the range of customers, from the woman who wakes at 3 am to bid on a toaster, to the woman who had to rent a warehouse for her thriving business selling bubble-wrap; reveals why eBay has succeeded where so many dot-coms have failed; and provides information for those trying to understand how the Web is changing business, and for those trying to anticipate the next big thing.

Review:
"eBay's story is amazing, and Mr. Cohen's enthusiasm carries you along.... His prose is brisk and cheerful as the blue-red-gold-etc. of the famous eBay logo."
"A fly-on-the-wall look at how eBay got to be eBay, how a company unlike any other oozed into our consciousness and into our lives and, amidst all the lousy gunk on the Internet that failed, managed to not only remain standing (which, given the Internet bust, would have still been a feat in itself) but profitable."
"Cohen is a thorough reporter who skillfully synthesizes the story of eBay's corporate evolution with profiles of more peripheral figures (e.g., the Indiana housewife who started off pedding old videogames but quickly became the biggest supplier of shipping materials to other eBay sellers)."
