In addition, items at fixed price are also available Half.com, an eBay company. The eBay HistoryThe idea for eBay was conceived from a conversation between eBay founder Pierre Omidyar and his wife. An avid Pezý collector (she currently covets a collection of more than 400 dispensers), Pierreýs wife was looking for a place where she could collect Pez dispensers and interact with other collectors over the Internet. As an early Internet enthusiast, Pierre pioneered the auction format for online person-to-person trading, creating a simple, easy-to-understand mechanism that let buyers and sellers decide the true value of items and connect with others. Users on eBay represent countries all over the world. With eBay's vision and global business strategy, the company continues to expand its service and brand abroad. It is not uncommon to hear about eBay users in Korea buying items from users in the USA, or users in Australia buying from others in France. Currently, eBay has country specific sites in Austria, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Korea, New Zealand, Switzerland and the UK.
