Does anybody know how eBay came up with its name? It other words, what does the name mean???
It was originally intended to serve the San Francisco Bay Area, thus “Bay” with an “e” in front of it.
The “e” is in imitation of the “e” in “e-mail” (for “electronic”).
“The “e” is in imitation of the “e” in “e-mail” (for “electronic”).”
Then would it not be a big E. e.g. Email= Electronic mail. ?
Funny thing about ebay is that sometimes it has a big E & sometimes it has a big B.
Big bees scare me.
Wasn’t it Thelma’s African boyfriends name on Good Times?
Who spells e-mail with a capital “E”? (Except at the beginning of a sentence.)
