All of the above are just incorrect guesses.
According to the founders, they were looking for a short name that would be easy to remember. They were founded in the East Bay area (San Francisco/Oakland), so their name actually stands for East Bay, or, shortened to eBay.
You can look it up. It's true.

maybe "e" stands for electronic like "e" in e-mail and bay stands for store. So it is an electronic store or online store to be precise. My 2 cents.

E-commerce is internet related business. Anything with E- usually means its to do with the internet, often reffered to as electronic but not always.
