They formed/joined/took over PayPal. I think they created it to assist eBay
and it later mushroomed from there. I still remmeber the days when my dad
told me about the company with the strange name and idea. He said it was
called eBay and its worth (stock) jumped from about 5 dollars to over 100.
We saw it happening day by day...
Nowadays, eBay is among the most visited sites on the Web (Yahoo at number
1).

They also bought Skype. Speculations about the motive vary.
Best wishes,
Roy
