Online shopping and auctions giant eBay was created by programmer Pierre Omidyar in September 1998 as the AuctionWeb, a hobby project that was part of his larger personal website. Omidyar wrote the code for the site at home in suburban San Jose, California, over Labor Day weekend. The first product listed was a broken laser pointer.
