eBay International

Founded in 1995, eBay pioneers communities built on commerce, sustained by trust, and inspired by opportunity. eBay enables ecommerce on a local, national and international basis with an array of websites – including the eBay Marketplace,
PayPal, Skype, Kijiji, Rent.com,Shopping.com – that bring together millions of buyers and sellers every day. eBay established its International headquarters in Berne in May 1999 and received the inaugural Tell Award which honors North American
companies that have realised significant inward investment projects in Switzerland.

«We are very pleased that we chose Berne as the location for eBay’s International headquarters. The geographic position, the high standard of living and the culturally sensitive people are positive assets for eBay and it’s international workforce. We are grateful to the Berne Economic Development Agency for the support they provided us when we first started here in 1999, as well as the support they continue to provide to us as we grow.»
