eBay History
Before becoming what it is today, eBay first hit the market under the name AuctionWeb. It was founded in California in September 1995 by French-born Iranian-American computer programmer Pierre Omidyar. One of the first items sold was a broken laser pointer for $14. Surprised, Omidyar reached out to the winning bidder to ask if he understood that the laser pointer was broken, and the buyer explained; "I'm a collector of broken laser pointers." It soon became the first online auction site allowing person-to-person transactions.
AuctionWeb was a hobby for Omidyar until his Internet service provider informed him he would need to upgrade to a business account due to the high site traffic. The monthly price increase from $30 to $250 prompted him to start charging eBay users, who still continued to use the site. In the whole year of 1996 there was a total of 250,000 auctions, then in just the month of January 1997 there were 200,000 auctions alone, and they continued to have exponential growth throughout the next decade. Omidyar had a consulting firm known as Echo Bay Technology Group, and considered the domain name echobay.com, but it was already taken by a gold mining company, so Omidyar shortened it to eBay.com in September 1997, and the rest is history.

How to cancel a bid on eBay?
Accidents happen. eBay allows bids to be retracted in some, but not all situations.
- A bid can be retracted if:
-
The seller significantly changed the item description
-
You accidentally bid the wrong amount. In this case, enter the price you intended to bid as soon as you've retracted the incorrect bi
-
- In addition to the above, timing is also important:
- If there are 12 hours or more left before the listing ends, all bids.
- If the listing is ending in less than 12 hours, you can retract your most recent bid so long as it's been less than 1 hour since you placed the bid.
Keep in mind you can't always retract a bid once it's made. Bids on trading cards and similar categories can't be retracted. If you're unable to retract a bid, you could also contact the seller to see if they'll cancel your bid on your behalf. The decision to cancel is at the discretion of the seller.
