  ITEM 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
  
       On May 25, 1999, eBay Inc. ("eBay") completed an acquisition in which it
  acquired Billpoint, Inc. (the "Company"). The Company was acquired pursuant to
  an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of May 18, 1999
  (the "Merger Agreement"), among eBay, the Company and Brazil Acquisition Corp.,
  a wholly owned subsidiary of eBay ("Merger Sub"). Pursuant to the Merger
  Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company, with the Company
  being the surviving corporation (the "Merger"). As a result of the Merger, the
  Company became a wholly owed subsidiary of eBay. In connection with the Merger:
  (a) eBay issued a total of approximately 525,000 shares of eBay common stock to
  the existing shareholders of the Company as consideration for all shares of
  capital stock of the Company, and (b) all options and warrants to purchase
  shares of common stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the
  consummation of the Merger were converted into options and warrants to purchase
  shares of eBay common stock.
  
       The Merger was intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization and to be
  accounted for as a "pooling of interests." The Company provides transaction
  services that enable individual sellers and buyers to use their credit cards
  over the Internet to conduct online transactions. eBay intends to continue to
  use the assets acquired to conduct such business.
  
  ITEM 7.   Financial Statements and Exhibits.
  
       a.   If required, financial statements will be filed by amendment as soon
            as practicable.
  
       b.   If required, pro forma financial information will be filed by
            amendment as soon as practicable.
  
       c.   Exhibits
  
            2.1  Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of May
                 18, 1999, among eBay Inc., Brazil Acquisition Corp. and
                 Billpoint, Inc.
