Ebay was started in 1995 by Pierre Omidyar. It was first called Auctionweb.
The name 'eBay' came later when he tried to register a domain name for his planned name EchoBay. It was already taken and so he shortened the name to eBay.

Electronic Bay because Pierre was living near the Bay in California when he started Ebay as a lark and Echobay was the original name he wanted but it was taken. Then the money started rolling in and the Ebay Greed Machine was born

For people: probable someplace around the 2nd trimester whilst the fetus strikes and the mummy feels the "quickening". traditionally, atleast, it incredibly is whilst there has been maximum controversy concerning aborting the fetus (it became purely interior the previous a hundred years or so as that theory became scientifically shown) and this has been whilst the fetus has began to be taken care of with fact of being born... ofcourse, this could basically be because of the fact miscarriage is plenty much less complicated in the past that ingredient. know-how and questioning are perplexing issues to coach. existence ends, for people, probable as quickly as they start to be taken care of as a ineffective guy or woman (ie: the coronary heart stops beating and techniques quits making electric waves). For animals and plant life and different multicelled organisms- existence probable starts on the ingredient wherein the chromosomes from the mummy and dad are blended and create a clean, unique, cellular that's the start of that distinctive existence form. existence probable ends, for animals and plant life, whilst they give up to respirate (replace gasses with the ambience, breathe, regardless of).

No idea, but I'd guess because it stands for electronic and refers to the internet, like in e-mail, or e-commerce.
