EXPLANATORY NOTE AND INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

     This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement 333-41944 (the “Registration Statement”) of eBay Inc. is filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 416(b) under the Securities Act of 1933 to reflect the increase in the number of shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock registered under the Registration Statement as a result of the Registrant’s two-for-one stock split, payable in the form of a stock dividend, having a record date of August 4, 2003 and taking effect as of August 28, 2003. Although the number of shares registered under the eBay Inc. 1999 Global Equity Incentive Plan (the “1999 Plan”) in the table above reflects the effect of the Registrant’s two-for-one stock split taking effect as of August 28, 2003, the Registration Statement is not being amended with respect to the 1999 Plan because the 1999 Plan contains specific provisions mandating the adjustment of the number of shares subject to options thereunder in the case of a stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction, and therefore, pursuant to Rule 416(b), the Registration Statement is deemed to cover the additional shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder in connection with the Registrant’s aforementioned stock split.

 

 

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of San Jose, State of California on August 29, 2003.
