San Jose, CA, October 18, 2006 — eBay Inc. (Nasdaq: EBAY; www.ebay.com) reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2006.

eBay reported record consolidated Q3-06 net revenues of $1.449 billion, representing a growth rate of 31% year over year. GAAP operating income was $339 million, a decrease of 5% year over year, and represented 23% of net revenues. Excluding stock-based compensation of $74 million, operating income would have increased 16% year over year to $413 million, or 28% of net revenues. Non-GAAP operating income in Q3-06 was $464 million, representing a 32% operating margin and an 18% year-over-year increase.

GAAP net income in Q3-06 was $281 million, or $0.20 earnings per diluted share, an increase of 10% year over year. Excluding stock-based compensation of $51 million (net of tax effects), net income increased 30% year over year to $332 million, or $0.23 earnings per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income in Q3-06 was $367 million, or $0.26 earnings per diluted share, a 31% year-over-year increase.

The company repurchased approximately 24 million shares of its common stock at a total cost of $667 million during the quarter, completing one-third of its previously announced stock repurchase program.

“Q3 was a very good quarter for the company and a continuation of the strong earnings growth we delivered throughout the first half of the year,” said Meg Whitman, President and CEO of eBay Inc. “As our results demonstrate, we are executing on our strategy to grow our Marketplaces, PayPal and Skype businesses individually and collectively to deliver greater value to our community of users and to our shareholders.”

Q3 Business Unit Discussion

Marketplaces

Our Marketplaces businesses had a good quarter, in line with our expectations, characterized by solid growth in key geographic markets and a strong quarter from Shopping.com.

Marketplaces net revenues totaled a record $1.049 billion in Q3-06, a growth rate of 22% over the $858 million reported in Q3-05. The eBay platform confirmed registered user base at the end of Q3-06 totaled 212 million, representing a 26% increase over the 168 million users reported at the end of Q3-05.

eBay’s users generated a total of 584 million new listings in Q3-06 (which included 95 million new Store Inventory Listings), 27% higher than the 459 million new listings reported in Q3-05 (which included 52 million new Store Inventory Listings). These listings helped drive eBay Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV), the total value of all successfully closed items on the eBay trading platforms, to $12.6 billion in Q3-06, representing a 17% year-over-year increase from the $10.8 billion reported in Q3-05.

Payments

PayPal had another excellent quarter, highlighted by increasing penetration on-eBay and excellent growth in our Merchant Services business.

PayPal net revenues totaled $350 million in Q3-06, a growth rate of 41% over the $247 million reported in Q3-05. PayPal had nearly 123 million total accounts at the end of Q3-06, a 41% increase from the 87 million reported in

Q3-05. Those accounts helped drive record Total Payment Volume (TPV) of $9.1 billion in Q3-06, a 37% increase from the $6.7 billion reported in Q3-05.

PayPal Merchant Services posted a record $3.3 billion in global TPV in Q3-06, representing a 59% increase from the $2.1 billion reported in Q3-05.

Communications

Our Skype business continued to grow at an impressive pace, driven by rapid user growth and continued innovation of Skype’s hardware and software ecosystem.

Skype net revenues totaled $50 million in Q3-06, representing a 13% increase from the $44 million reported in Q2-06.

Skype had 136 million registered users at the end of Q3-06, representing a 20% increase from the 113 million users at the end of Q2-06.

Other selected financial results

Operating Margin — GAAP operating margin decreased to 23% in Q3-06, down from 32% in Q3-05. Excluding stock-based compensation of $74 million, GAAP operating margin would have been 28%, down from 32% in Q3-05. Non-GAAP operating margin decreased to 32% in Q3-06, down from 36% in Q3-05. The year-over-year decrease in non-GAAP operating margin was driven primarily by the inclusion of the Skype business, investment in site operations capacity and higher costs for our consumer protection programs.

Tax Rate — The GAAP effective tax rate for Q3-06 was 26%, a decrease from 34% for Q3-05 and consistent with Q2-06. The non-GAAP effective tax rate in Q3-06 was 27%, a decrease from 34% for Q3-05 and from 28% for Q2-06. Tax rates in the prior year period were higher due to a one-time charge for the final application of tax regulations related to intercompany cost sharing arrangements. Excluding the one-time charge, the difference between the effective tax rates for Q3-06 as compared to Q3-05 and Q2-06 result primarily from changes in the estimated geographic mix of the company’s taxable income.

Cash Flows — GAAP operating cash flows increased 6% year over year to $522 million in Q3-06. Free cash flows, representing operating cash flows less net purchases of property and equipment of $137 million, decreased 14% year over year to $385 million. The decrease in free cash flow is due in part to increases in purchases of property and equipment, primarily related to data center and software investments to support capacity expansion in our business, and capitalized product development costs related to our websites.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Investments — The company’s cash, cash equivalents, and investments totaled approximately $3.8 billion at the end of Q3-06.

“We’re pleased with the solid revenue growth, strong earnings and cash flow we delivered in Q3,” said Bob Swan, Chief Financial Officer. “Our long-term confidence in the business is underscored by the significant share repurchase we executed in the quarter.”

Business Outlook

The following guidance includes the estimated impact of expensing stock options from the adoption of FAS 123(R), which has been reflected in eBay’s operating results beginning in Q1-06.

Fourth Quarter 2006 — eBay expects consolidated net revenues for Q4 2006 to be in the range of $1.615 billion to $1.675 billion. GAAP earnings per diluted share for Q4 2006 are expected to be in the range of $0.21 to $0.22. GAAP earnings per diluted share for Q4 2006 includes the estimated impact of stock-based compensation from the adoption of FAS 123(R) of approximately $0.03-$0.04. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for Q4 2006 are expected to be in the range of $0.27 to $0.28. This guidance assumes a US dollar to Euro exchange rate of $1.25.

Full Year 2006 — eBay expects consolidated net revenues 2006 to be in the range of $5.865 billion to $5.925 billion. GAAP earnings per diluted share for 2006 are expected to be in the range of $0.75 to $0.76. GAAP earnings per diluted share for 2006 includes the estimated impact of stock-based compensation from the adoption of FAS 123(R) of approximately $0.15 to $0.16 per diluted share. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for 2006 are expected to

be in the range of $1.01 to $1.02. This guidance assumes a Q4 2006 US dollar to Euro exchange rate of $1.25, and actual rates through the first three quarters of 2006.

Full Year 2007 — eBay expects organic consolidated net revenue growth for 2007 in the range of 17% to 21% over 2006 revenues. GAAP and non-GAAP operating margins are expected to improve by at least 0.5 percentage points over 2006 GAAP and non-GAAP operating margins. GAAP and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share are expected to grow by at least 20% over 2006 GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share. This guidance assumes a US dollar to Euro exchange rate of $1.25 and does not reflect the potential impact of the adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 (which will be effective January 1, 2007) on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

eBay Inc.
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income

To supplement the company’s 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 earnings per diluted share, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate, and free cash flows, as well as GAAP amounts excluding stock-based compensation on operating income, net income and earnings per share, and the corresponding percentages of net revenues. eBay also makes reference to measures of operating income, net income and earnings per diluted share, which exclude stock-based compensation in order to allow for a better comparison of results in the current period to those in prior periods that did not include FAS 123(R) stock-based compensation.

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, 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 6, 7, 9, 10, and 16 of this press release. For non-GAAP measures that exclude only stock-based compensation, the reconciliation to GAAP is presented in narrative form in this release when the non-GAAP measure is referenced.

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, and to provide further information for comparative purposes due to the adoption of the new accounting standard FAS 123(R). 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 related to employee stock options and employee stock purchases, employer payroll taxes on employee non-qualified stock option gains, amortization of acquired intangible assets, gain on sale of equity investment 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. Note that beginning with Q1-06, eBay’s financial results include stock-based compensation from the adoption of the new accounting standard, FAS 123(R). eBay’s financial results for prior periods have not been restated for FAS 123(R).

eBay excludes the following items from non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate, as well as GAAP amounts excluding stock-based compensation on operating income, net income and earnings per share, and the corresponding percentages of net revenues.:

Stock-based compensation related to stock options and employee stock purchases. These expenses consist of expenses for stock options and employee stock purchases under FAS 123(R). eBay excludes stock-based compensation expenses from its non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses that eBay does not believe are reflective of ongoing operating results and because excluding these amounts allow for a comparison of the results in the current period to those in the prior periods that did not include FAS 123(R) stock-based compensation expense.

Employer payroll taxes on employee non-qualified stock option gains. This amount is dependent on eBay’s stock price and the timing and size of exercise by employees of their stock options, over which management has virtually no control, and as such does not correlate to eBay’s operation of the business.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets. eBay incurs amortization of acquired intangible assets in connection with acquisitions and investments. eBay excludes these items because they arise from eBay’s prior acquisitions and have no direct correlation to the current operating results of eBay’s business.

Gain on sale of equity investment. eBay does not actively trade public equity securities nor does it rely on these securities positions for funding of ongoing operations. eBay excludes these gains because they are unrelated to eBay’s ongoing business and operating results.

Income taxes associated with certain non-GAAP entries. This amount is used to present each of the 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, buildings, 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, strengthen the balance sheet and repurchase stock. A limitation of free cash flow is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the company’s cash balance for the period.

Unaudited Guidance Summary
(In Millions, Except Per Share Amounts And Percentages)

The guidance figures provided below and elsewhere in this press release are approximate in nature because eBay’s future performance is difficult to predict. Such guidance is based on information available on the date hereof, and eBay assumes no obligation to update it.

eBay’s future performance involves risks and uncertainties, and the company’s actual results could differ materially from such guidance. Some of the factors that could affect the company’s operating results are set forth under the caption “Forward-Looking Statements” above in this press release. More information about factors that could affect eBay’s operating results is included under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in its most recent annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, copies of which may be obtained by visiting the company’s investor relations website at investor.ebay.com or the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.


	Three months ending December 31, 2006
	GAAP(a)			Non-GAAP(b)


Net revenues		$1,615	-$1,675		$1,615	-$1,675
Diluted EPS		$0.21	-$0.22		$0.27	-$0.28


	Year ending December 31, 2006
	GAAP(a)			Non-GAAP(b)


Net revenues		$5,865	-$5,925		$5,865	-$5,925
Operating margin			23%			32.5%
Diluted EPS*		$0.75	-$0.76		$1.01	-$1.02
Effective tax rate		26%	-27%		28%	-29%


*		Please note that the sum of the quarters may not total to the full year EPS because the quarterly EPS is calculated using the respective results and weighted average shares for each quarter, and the full year EPS is calculated using the results and weighted average shares for the full year.

(a)		GAAP guidance includes the estimated impact of expensing stock options under FAS 123(R) “Share-Based Payment.” The stock based compensation calculated under FAS 123(R) is expected to reduce diluted GAAP EPS by approximately $0.15-$0.16 for the full year ending December 31, 2006 and $0.03-$0.04 for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2006.

(b)		Non-GAAP guidance reflects estimated quarterly adjustments to exclude the amortization of acquired intangible assets of approximately $45-$55 million, stock-based compensation (including the estimated stock based compensation calculated under FAS 123(R)) and payroll taxes on employee stock options of approximately $70-$85 million. These non-GAAP items are estimated to result in a $0.06 per diluted share adjustment, net of tax, and an operating margin adjustment of approximately 10% for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2006.
