Equity and cost method investments

We have made multiple equity and cost method investments, which are reported in long-term investments on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. During the second quarter of 2016, we sold a portion of our equity interest in Jasper Infotech Private Limited (Snapdeal). The resulting gain was recorded in interest and other, net on our consolidated statement of income. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our equity and cost method investments totaled $130 million and $118 million, respectively.

In April 2017, we announced that we would receive an ownership interest in Flipkart in exchange for our eBay.in business and a $500 million cash investment. We signed the definitive agreement to sell our marketplace business in India on April 10, 2017 and we expect to close these transactions in the second half of 2017, subject to customary closing conditions.
