The Company

eBay Inc. is a global commerce leader that connects people and builds communities to create economic opportunity for all. Our technology empowers millions of buyers and sellers in more than 190 markets around the world, providing everyone the opportunity to grow and thrive. Our Marketplace platforms, including our online marketplace located at www.ebay.com and its localized counterparts, our off-platform marketplaces and our suite of mobile apps, together, create one of the world's largest and most vibrant marketplaces for discovering great value and unique selection.

When we refer to “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company” or “eBay” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we mean the current Delaware corporation (eBay Inc.) and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including but not limited to those related to provisions for transaction losses, legal contingencies, income taxes, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, investments, including Level 3 investments, warrants and the recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

We review the useful lives of equipment on an ongoing basis, and effective January 1, 2024, we changed our estimate of the useful lives for our servers and networking equipment from three years to four years. The longer useful lives are due to continuous improvements in our hardware, software, and data center designs. The effect of this change in estimate in 2024, based on servers and network equipment that were included in “Property and equipment, net” as of December 31, 2023 and those acquired during 2024, was a reduction in depreciation expense of $66 million and an increase in net income of $58 million, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are consolidated and include the financial statements of eBay Inc. and our wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Minority interests are recognized as a noncontrolling interest. A qualitative approach is applied to assess the consolidation requirement for variable interest entities. Generally, investments in entities where we hold at least a 20% ownership interest and have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, including those in which the fair value option has been elected.

For equity method investments, our share of the investees’ results of operations is included in “Interest income and other, net” and investment balances are included in “Long-term investments.” For equity method investments under the fair value option, the change in fair value of the investment is included in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net” and investment balances are included in “Long-term investments,” other than our equity interest in Adevinta ASA (“Adevinta”), which was included in the “Current assets” section on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 as discussed in “Note 6 — Investments.” Investments in entities where we hold less than a 20% ownership interest are generally accounted for as equity investments to be measured at fair value, under an election, or at cost if it does not have readily determinable fair value, in which case the carrying value would be adjusted upon the occurrence of an observable price change in an orderly transaction for identical or similar instruments or impairment.
Effective January 1, 2024, certain immaterial prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Specifically, immaterial restricted cash balances previously reported as components of “Short-term investments” and “Long-term investments” are now reported within the “Other current assets” and “Other assets” sections, respectively, in our consolidated balance sheet.

Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue recognition

We recognize revenue when we transfer control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. As part of our revenue recognition analysis, we are required to identify each distinct performance obligation.

Marketplace revenues

Marketplace revenues primarily consist of commissions related to the connection service including final value fees, listing fees, feature fees, and foreign exchange fees. Marketplace revenues also include store subscription fees, shipping fees, and certain other fees. Marketplace revenues are reduced by customer incentive programs, including discounts, coupons, and rewards.

The connection service represents a single distinct performance obligation, which is to connect buyers and sellers on our secure and trusted Marketplace platforms. Revenue is recognized at the point in time an item is paid for, satisfying the performance obligation.

Store subscription and other nonstandard pricing contracts may contain multiple performance obligations, including discounts on future services. Determining whether performance obligations should be accounted for separately or combined may require significant judgment. The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on its stand-alone selling price (“SSP”). In instances where SSP is not directly observable, we generally estimate selling prices based on when they are sold to customers of a similar nature and geography. These estimates are generally based on pricing strategies, market factors, strategic objectives and observable inputs. Store subscription revenues are recognized over the subscription period, and discounts offered through store subscription or nonstandard pricing contracts are recognized when the options are exercised or when the options expire.

Revenues related to shipping services are recognized based on whether we are the principal and are responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified services or whether we are an agent arranging for those services to be provided by our partners. Determining whether we are a principal or agent in these contracts may require significant judgment. If we are the principal, we recognize revenue in the gross amount of consideration received from the customer, whereas if we are an agent, we recognize revenue net of the consideration due to our partners at a point in time when the services are provided. Our most significant revenue share arrangements are with shipping service providers. We are primarily acting as an agent in these contracts and revenues are recognized at a point in time when we have satisfied our promise of connecting the shipping service provider to our customer. In the first quarter of 2023, we launched an international shipping program, a service designed to simplify and reduce the cost of international exports in the United States. Under this program, eBay acts as principal as we are primarily responsible for providing these international shipping services in exchange for a fee charged to the buyer. Revenue is recognized over time from the point of checkout to the point of delivery.
Further, to drive traffic to our Marketplace platforms, we provide incentives to buyers and sellers in various forms including discounts on fees, discounts on items sold, coupons and rewards. Evaluating whether a promotion or incentive is a payment to a customer may require significant judgment. Promotions and incentives that are consideration payable to a customer are recognized as a reduction of revenue at the later of when revenue is recognized or when we pay or promise to pay the incentive. Promotions and incentives to most buyers on our Marketplace platforms, to whom we have no performance obligation, are recognized as sales and marketing expense. In addition, we may provide credits to customers when we refund certain fees. Credits are accounted for as variable consideration at contract inception when estimating the amount of revenue to be recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur and updated as additional information becomes available.

Advertising revenues

Advertising revenues primarily consist of first-party fees paid to promote listings on our Marketplace platforms, as well as third-party advertising fees. First-party advertising services are provided to sellers to promote their listings through on-site or off-site sponsored ads and are a distinct performance obligation for which revenue is recognized when (or over the period) these services are performed. Third-party advertising revenues are derived principally from the sale of online advertisements that are based on impressions or clicks delivered to advertisers. We recognize revenue in the contracted period in which the ads are clicked and the impressions are displayed.

Internal use software and platform development costs

Direct costs incurred to develop software for internal use and platform development costs are capitalized and amortized over an estimated useful life of one to five years. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we capitalized costs, primarily related to labor and stock-based compensation, of $108 million and $115 million, respectively. Amortization of previously capitalized amounts was $114 million, $123 million and $129 million for 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Costs related to the design or maintenance of internal use software and platform development are expensed as incurred.

Marketing expense

We expense marketing costs according to the terms of each agreement, typically when incurred or over the period during which the advertising space or airtime is used, in each case as sales and marketing expense. Marketing expense totaled $1.4 billion, $1.2 billion and $1.2 billion for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Stock-based compensation

We have equity incentive plans under which we grant equity awards, including stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and performance-based restricted stock units (“PBRSUs”), to our directors, officers and employees. We primarily issue RSUs. We determine compensation expense associated with RSUs based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant. We determine compensation expense associated with stock options based on the estimated grant date fair value method using the Black-Scholes valuation model. We generally recognize compensation expense using a straight-line amortization method over the respective vesting period for awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Accordingly, stock-based compensation expense for 2024, 2023 and 2022 has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. When estimating forfeitures, we consider voluntary termination behaviors as well as trends of actual option forfeitures. We recognize a benefit or provision from stock-based compensation in earnings as a component of “Income tax benefit (provision)” to the extent that an incremental tax benefit or deficiency is realized by following the ordering provisions of the tax law.

Provision for transaction losses

Provision for transaction losses consists primarily of losses resulting from our buyer protection programs, chargebacks for unauthorized credit card use, and merchant related chargebacks due to non-delivery of goods or services.
Provision for transaction losses represents our estimate of actual losses based on our historical experience and many other factors including changes to our protection programs and macroeconomic conditions.

Customer accounts and funds receivable

Customer accounts represent cash received from buyers that is held by financial institutions. Due to safeguarding requirements in certain regions, a portion of this balance is considered restricted. Funds receivable represents customer cash in transit and held by payment processors. These balances are associated with marketplace activity and are awaiting payment to sellers.

We are exposed to credit losses from customer accounts and funds receivable balances held by third party financial institutions and payment processors. We assess these balances for credit loss based on a review of the average period for which the funds are held, current credit ratings and our assessment of the probability of default and loss given default models. In 2024, 2023, and 2022, no credit-related losses were recognized.

Customer accounts and funds payable

These balances primarily represent the Company’s liability towards its customers to settle funds from the completed transactions on our Marketplace platforms associated with marketplace activity.

Income taxes

Significant judgment is required in determining our tax expense and in evaluating our tax positions, including evaluating uncertainties and the complexity of taxes on foreign earnings. We review our tax positions quarterly and adjust the balances as new information becomes available. Tax positions are evaluated for potential reserves for uncertainty based on the estimated probability of sustaining the position under examination. Our income tax rate is affected by the tax rates that apply to our foreign earnings including U.S. minimum taxes on foreign earnings. The deferred tax benefit derived from the amortization of our intellectual property is based on the fair value, which has been agreed with foreign tax authorities. The deferred tax benefit may from time to time change based on changes in tax rates. 

We account for income taxes using an asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of current and deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions of enacted tax laws; the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated. If necessary, the measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced by the amount of any tax benefits that are not expected to be realized based on available evidence.

We report a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash

Cash and cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased, which may include bank deposits, U.S. Treasury securities, time deposits, and certificates of deposit.

We consider cash to be restricted when withdrawal or general use is legally restricted. Restricted cash is held in interest bearing accounts for letters of credit related to our global sabbatical program and for certain amounts related to other compensation arrangements held in escrow. We also hold restricted cash in segregated bank accounts for purposes of safeguarding customer funds.
Investments

“Short-term investments” are primarily comprised of corporate debt securities, commercial paper and government and agency securities. “Short-term investments” are investments with maturities of less than one year, are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value using the specific identification method. Short-term investments also include equity securities with readily determinable fair values that can be sold in active markets.

“Long-term investments” are primarily comprised of corporate debt securities, government and agency securities, equity investments under the fair value option (other than our equity interest in Adevinta which was reported within the “Current assets” section in our consolidated balance sheet), equity investments under the equity method of accounting and equity investments without readily determinable fair values. Debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value using the specific identification method.

Unrealized gains and losses on our available-for-sale debt securities are excluded from earnings and reported as a component of “Other comprehensive income (loss),” net of related estimated income tax provisions or benefits. We periodically assess our portfolio of debt investments for impairment. For debt securities in an unrealized loss position, this assessment first takes into account our intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of these criteria are met, the debt security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through “Interest income and other, net.” For debt securities in an unrealized loss position that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, we assess whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, we consider the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss may exist, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses will be recognized through “Interest income and other, net,” limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any additional impairment not recognized through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recognized as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of an available-for-sale security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. These changes are recognized in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net.”

Our equity investments include equity investments with readily determinable fair values, equity investments without readily determinable fair values and equity investments under the equity method of accounting, including those in which the fair value option has been elected. Our equity investment in Adevinta is described in a separate section under “Equity investment in Adevinta” in this Note.

Equity investments with readily determinable fair values are investments in publicly-traded companies for which we do not exercise significant influence and are measured at fair value based on the respective closing stock price and prevailing foreign exchange rate, as applicable, at the period end date. Equity investments with readily determinable fair values are classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as the valuation can be obtained from real time quotes in active markets. Subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net.”

Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are non-marketable equity securities, which are investments in privately-held companies for which we do not exercise significant influence and are accounted for under the measurement alternative. Under the measurement alternative, the carrying value is measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. We perform a qualitative fair value assessment on a quarterly basis over our equity investments without readily determinable fair values to identify any changes in basis or impairments. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are considered impaired when there is an indication that the fair value of our interest is less than the carrying amount. Changes in value and impairments of equity investments without readily determinable fair values are recognized in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net.”
We account for equity investments through which we exercise significant influence but do not have control over the investee under the equity method or under the fair value option. For equity method investments, our consolidated results of operations include, as a component of “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net,” our share of the net income or loss of the equity investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Our share of equity method investees’ results of operations was not material for any period presented. We perform a qualitative impairment assessment on a quarterly basis over our equity method investments. Equity method investments are considered impaired when there is an indication of an other-than-temporary decline in value below the carrying amount. Impairments and any other adjustments to equity method investments are recognized in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net.”

Equity investments under the fair value option are measured at fair value based on a quarterly valuation analysis or using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient. Equity investments measured at fair value based on a quarterly valuation analysis are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, as the valuation reflects management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the equity investment. Equity investments measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient are not classified in the fair value hierarchy. Subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net.”

Refer to “Note 6 — Investments” and “Note 8 — Fair Value Measurement of Assets and Liabilities” for additional details.

Equity investment in Adevinta

At the initial recognition of our equity investment in Adevinta, we elected the fair value option where subsequent changes in fair value were recognized in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net” in our consolidated statement of income. The investment was reported within the “Current assets” section in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 and was classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as the valuation could be obtained from real time quotes in active markets based on Adevinta’s closing stock price and prevailing foreign exchange rate. On May 29, 2024, we completed the previously announced sale of our stake in Adevinta in exchange for cash and shares of a new entity, Aurelia.

Refer to “Note 6 — Investments” and “Note 8 — Fair Value Measurement of Assets and Liabilities” for additional details.

Leases

We determine if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at the commencement date. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for our operating leases, we generally use an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. Operating right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are generally recognized based on the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability. Our leases have remaining lease terms of up to ten years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to five years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within one year. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We account for lease and fixed non-lease components as a single lease component for our data center leases. Lease and non-lease components for all other leases are accounted for separately.

Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, other current liabilities and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation for equipment, buildings and leasehold improvements commences once they are ready for our intended use. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally, one to four years for computer equipment and software, up to thirty years for buildings and building improvements, the shorter of five years or the term of the lease for leasehold improvements and three years for furniture, fixtures and vehicles. Land is not depreciated.

Goodwill and intangible assets

Goodwill is tested for impairment at a minimum on an annual basis at the reporting unit level. A qualitative assessment can be performed to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the reporting unit does not pass the qualitative assessment, then the reporting unit’s carrying value is compared to its fair value. The fair value of the reporting unit is estimated using income and market approaches. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The discounted cash flow method, a form of the income approach, uses expected future operating results and a market participant discount rate. The market approach uses comparable company prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions (either publicly traded entities or mergers and acquisitions) to develop pricing metrics to be applied to historical and expected future operating results of our reporting unit. Failure to achieve these expected results, changes in the discount rate or market pricing metrics may cause a future impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit. We conducted our annual impairment test of goodwill as of August 31, 2024 and 2023 and determined that no adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill for any reporting unit was required. 

Intangible assets consist of purchased customer lists and user base, marketing related, developed technologies and other intangible assets, including patents and contractual agreements. Intangible assets are amortized over the period of estimated benefit using the straight-line method and estimated useful lives ranging from three to eight years. No significant residual value is estimated for intangible assets.

Impairment of long-lived assets

We evaluate long-lived assets (including leases and intangible assets) for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flow the asset is expected to generate. In 2024, 2023, and 2022, no impairment was recognized.

Foreign currency

Most of our foreign subsidiaries use the local currency of their respective countries as their functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date, while revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the year. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of our consolidated balance sheet are recognized as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income.”

Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are recognized as “Interest income and other, net.”

Derivative instruments

We use derivative financial instruments, primarily forwards, options and swaps, to hedge certain foreign currency and interest rate exposures. We may also use other derivative instruments not designated as hedges, such as forwards to hedge foreign currency balance sheet exposures. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. 
We also entered into a warrant agreement in addition to a commercial agreement with Adyen N.V. (“Adyen”) that, subject to meeting certain conditions, entitled us to acquire a fixed number of shares up to 5% of Adyen’s fully diluted issued and outstanding share capital at a specific date. The warrant was accounted for as a derivative instrument under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The warrant expired on January 31, 2025.

See “Note 7 — Derivative Instruments” for a full description of our derivative instrument activities and related accounting policies.

Concentration of credit risk

Our cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, customer accounts and funds receivable, available-for-sale debt securities and derivative instruments are potentially subject to concentration of credit risk. Cash and cash equivalents are placed with financial institutions that management believes are of high credit quality. In each of the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, no customer accounted for more than 10% of net revenues. Our derivative instruments expose us to credit risk to the extent that our counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-08—Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The guidance requires the recognition and measurement of contract assets and contract liabilities from revenue contracts by an acquirer in a business combination and clarifies that an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts at the acquisition date as if it had originated the contracts in accordance with existing revenue guidance. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2022 with no material impact in our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01—Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging—Portfolio Layer Method. The guidance expands the scope of financial assets that can be included in a closed portfolio hedged using the portfolio layer method to allow consistent accounting for similar hedges. The expanded scope permits the application of the same portfolio hedging method to both prepayable and nonprepayable financial assets. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2022 with no material impact in our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03-Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The guidance clarifies the fair value measurement guidance for equity securities subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security. Further, the guidance introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2023 with no material impact in our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07—Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The guidance is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses enabling investors to better understand an entity’s overall performance and assess potential future cash flows. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2024 with no material impact in our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-08—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets. The guidance addresses the accounting and disclosure requirements for certain crypto assets and requires entities to subsequently measure certain crypto assets at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income in each reporting period. In addition, entities are required to provide additional disclosures about the holdings of certain crypto assets. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact in our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09—Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The guidance is intended to further standardize income tax disclosures primarily related to the presentation of the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information in our financial statements and disclosures. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are evaluating the effect that this standard may have in our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03—Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The guidance is intended to improve disclosures about expenses and address requests from investors for more transparent expense information through disaggregation of relevant expense captions in the notes to the financial statements. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are evaluating the effect that this standard may have in our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Net Income (Loss) Per Share Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive common stock outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of outstanding options and equity incentive awards is reflected in diluted net income (loss) per share by application of the treasury stock method. The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share excludes all anti-dilutive common shares.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segments Segments
We have one reportable segment, which reflects how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), President and Chief Executive Officer, reviews and assesses performance of the business. The CODM assesses the performance of the Company and decides how to allocate resources based on consolidated net income reported in the consolidated statement of income. The CODM uses consolidated net income in deciding whether to reinvest profits into certain parts of the business or return a portion of such profits to shareholders through dividends and stock repurchases. Significant expense categories regularly provided to and reviewed by the CODM are those presented in the consolidated statement of income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheet as total assets, although the CODM does not evaluate asset information for purposes of allocating resources or evaluating performance.

Our fixed-income investments consist of predominantly investment grade corporate debt securities and government and agency securities. The corporate debt and government and agency securities that we invest in are generally deemed to be low risk based on their credit ratings from the major rating agencies.

The longer the duration of these securities, the more susceptible they are to changes in market interest rates and bond yields. As interest rates increase, those securities purchased at a lower yield show a mark-to-market unrealized loss. The unrealized losses are due primarily to changes in credit spreads and interest rates. We regularly review investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment using both qualitative and quantitative criteria. Investments classified as available-for-sale debt securities are carried at fair value with changes reflected in other comprehensive income. Where there is an intention or a requirement to sell an impaired available-for-sale debt security, the entire impairment is recognized in earnings with a corresponding adjustment to the amortized cost basis of the security. From time to time, we sell available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position and recognize an immaterial loss.

We regularly review investment securities for credit impairment using both qualitative and quantitative criteria. In making this assessment, we consider the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, any adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses will be recognized through “Interest income and other, net” for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recognized through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income. We did not recognize any credit-related impairment through an allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2024.

Equity investment in Adevinta

In the fourth quarter of 2021, we completed the sale of approximately 135 million of our voting shares in Adevinta to Permira, inclusive of the option exercised by Permira to purchase additional voting shares, for total cash consideration of $2.3 billion which reduced our ownership in Adevinta to 33%.

At the initial recognition of this equity investment in Adevinta, we elected the fair value option where subsequent changes in fair value were recognized in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net” in our consolidated statement of income. The investment was reported within the “Current assets” section in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 and was classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as the fair value could be obtained from real time quotes in active markets based on Adevinta’s closing stock price and prevailing foreign exchange rate.

On May 29, 2024, we completed the previously announced sale of (1) 227 million Adevinta shares in exchange for $2.4 billion in cash and (2) the exchange of 177 million Adevinta shares for 177 million shares of the new entity, Aurelia (collectively, the “Transactions”), valued at $1.9 billion and representing approximately 18.3% ownership of the outstanding equity of Aurelia. The equity investment in Aurelia is accounted for under the measurement alternative as we are not able to exercise significant influence based on the governance structure defined in the terms of the Transaction Completion Agreement and the Aurelia Shareholder Agreement. Refer to "Equity investments without readily determinable fair values” below for additional information. Cash proceeds, net of transaction costs, related to the sale of Adevinta shares were classified as an investing activity in our consolidated statement of cash flows.
In connection with the Transactions, we recognized an unrealized loss of $234 million and a realized gain of $78 million in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net” in our consolidated statement of income. We concurrently reduced “Deferred tax liabilities” by $456 million and increased “Income taxes payable” by $458 million in our consolidated balance sheet related to the taxable gain on disposition of Adevinta shares.

In 2023, we recognized an unrealized gain of $1,782 million in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net” in our consolidated statement of income related to the change in fair value of the investment in Adevinta. The fair value of the investment was $4,474 million as of December 31, 2023.

Equity investments without readily determinable fair values

Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are non-marketable equity securities, which are investments in privately-held companies for which we do not exercise significant influence and are accounted for under the measurement alternative. Under the measurement alternative, the carrying value is measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Changes in value and impairments of equity investments without readily determinable fair values are recognized in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net” in our consolidated statement of income. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are presented within “Long-term investments” in our consolidated balance sheet.

Equity investment in Aurelia

As discussed in the “Equity Investment in Adevinta” section above, our equity investment in Aurelia is accounted for under the measurement alternative as we are not able to exercise significant influence over Aurelia.

Concurrently with the Transactions discussed above, we granted Aurelia UK Feederco Limited, the buyer, a six-month option to purchase Aurelia shares (the “Aurelia Option”). In November 2024, the Aurelia Option was exercised, upon which we sold 97 million shares in Aurelia in exchange for $1.0 billion in cash, and recognized an $11 million loss in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net” in our consolidated statement of income. We concurrently reduced “Deferred tax liabilities” by $202 million and increased “Income taxes payable” by $198 million in our consolidated balance sheet related to the taxable gain on our disposition of Aurelia shares. Cash proceeds, net of transaction costs, related to the sale of Aurelia shares were classified as an investing activity in our consolidated statement of cash flows. The fair value of the investment was $867 million as of December 31, 2024, representing approximately 8.3% of the outstanding equity of Aurelia.

Other equity investments without readily determinable fair values

In 2024, we recognized $51 million of additions compared to $33 million of additions during 2023 and $11 million of additions in 2022. The change in value of our other equity investments without readily determinable fair values in 2024, 2023 and 2022 was immaterial both individually and in the aggregate.

Other equity method investments

We account for certain other individually immaterial equity investments through which we exercise significant influence but do not have control over the investee under the equity method. Our consolidated results of operations include, as a component of “Interest income and other, net,” our share of the net income or loss of the equity investments. Equity method investments are presented within “Long-term investments” in our consolidated balance sheet. Our share of the net income or loss of equity method investments in 2024, 2023 and 2022 was immaterial both individually and in the aggregate.
Other equity investments under the fair value option

Equity investment in Gmarket

In 2021, we completed the sale of 80.01% of the outstanding equity interests of eBay Korea to Emart. Upon completion of the sale, we retained 19.99% of the outstanding equity interest of the new entity, Gmarket, over which we are able to exercise significant influence based on the terms of the securities purchase agreement, including through our board representation. Our equity investment in Gmarket was valued at $728 million as of the transaction close date.

At the initial recognition of this equity investment, we elected the fair value option where subsequent changes in fair value were recognized in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net” in the consolidated statement of income. The investment was reported within “Long-term investments” in our consolidated balance sheet and was classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as the valuation reflected management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the equity investment. Refer to “Note 8 — Fair Value Measurement of Assets and Liabilities” for more information.

In December 2024, we sold our remaining stake in Gmarket valued at $323 million in exchange for $322 million in cash, net of transaction costs, and recognized a realized loss of $1 million and an unrealized loss of $12 million related to the change in fair value of the investment in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net” in our consolidated statement of income. We concurrently reduced “Income taxes payable” by $119 million in our consolidated balance sheet related to the taxable loss on our disposition of Gmarket. Cash proceeds, net of transaction costs, related to the sale of Gmarket shares were classified as an investing activity in our consolidated statement of cash flows.

In 2023, an unrealized loss of $96 million was recognized in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net” in our consolidated statement of income related to the change in fair value of the investment. The fair value of the investment was $335 million as of December 31, 2023.

Other investments

Certain other individually immaterial equity investments aggregating to $54 million and $47 million as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient, and have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. Refer to “Note 8 — Fair Value Measurement of Assets and Liabilities” for more information.

Equity investments with readily determinable fair values

Equity investment in Adyen

We entered into a warrant agreement in conjunction with a commercial agreement with Adyen that, subject to meeting certain conditions, entitled us to acquire a fixed number of shares up to 5% of Adyen’s fully diluted issued and outstanding share capital at a specific date. The warrant had a term of seven years and vested in a series of four tranches at a specified price per share (fixed for the first two tranches) upon meeting processing volume milestone targets on a calendar year basis. When a relevant milestone was reached, the warrant became exercisable with respect to the corresponding tranche of warrant shares. The warrant expired on January 31, 2025. Refer to “Note 7 — Derivative Instruments” for more information about the warrant.

In 2021, we met the processing volume milestone target to vest the first tranche of the warrant and exercised the option to purchase shares of Adyen. During 2022, we sold our shares in Adyen stemming from the exercise of the first tranche of the warrant for $800 million and recognized realized losses of $143 million on the change in fair value of shares sold and unrealized losses of $118 million in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net” in our consolidated statement of income. Cash proceeds, net of transaction costs, related to the sale of Adyen shares were classified as an investing activity in our consolidated statement of cash flows.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, we met the processing volume milestone required to vest in the second tranche of the Adyen warrant. Upon vesting, we exercised the option to purchase shares of Adyen valued at $630 million in exchange for $108 million in cash. We subsequently sold the remainder of our shares in Adyen for $573 million and recognized a realized loss of $57 million in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net” in our consolidated statement of income. We concurrently reduced “Deferred tax liabilities” by $114 million and increased “Income taxes payable” by $105 million in our consolidated balance sheet related to the taxable gain on disposition of Adyen shares. Cash paid related to the exercise of the second tranche of the warrant and cash proceeds, net of transaction costs, related to the sale of Adyen shares was classified as an investing activity in our consolidated statement of cash flows.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative Instruments Derivative Instruments
Our primary objective in holding derivatives is to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. These hedging contracts reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the impact of adverse foreign exchange rate and interest rate movements. We do not use any of our derivative instruments for trading purposes.

We use foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce the volatility of cash flows related to forecasted revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, including intercompany balances denominated in foreign currencies. These contracts are generally one month to one year in duration, but with maturities up to 24 months. The objective of the foreign exchange contracts is to ensure that ultimately the U.S. dollar-equivalent cash flows are not adversely affected by changes in the applicable U.S. dollar/foreign currency exchange rate. We evaluate the effectiveness of our foreign exchange contracts designated as cash flow or net investment hedges on a quarterly basis.

Cash Flow Hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges, the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of AOCI and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same period the forecasted hedged transaction affects earnings. Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges must be de-designated as hedges when it is probable the forecasted hedged transaction will not occur in the initially identified time period or within a subsequent two-month time period. Unrealized gains and losses in AOCI associated with such derivative instruments are immediately reclassified into earnings. As of December 31, 2024, we have estimated that $18 million of net derivative gains related to our foreign exchange cash flow hedges and $8 million net derivative gains related to our interest rate cash flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months. We classify cash flows related to our cash flow hedges as operating activities in our consolidated statement of cash flows.

Non-Designated Hedges

Our derivatives not designated as hedging instruments consist of foreign currency forward contracts that we primarily use to hedge monetary assets or liabilities, including intercompany balances and equity investments denominated in non-functional currencies. The gains and losses on our derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recognized in “Interest income and other, net,” which are offset by the foreign currency gains and losses on the related assets and liabilities that are also recognized in “Interest income and other, net.” We classify cash flows related to our non-designated hedging instruments in the same line item as the cash flows of the related assets or liabilities, which is generally within operating activities in our consolidated statement of cash flows. Cash flows related to the settlement of non-designated hedging instruments related to equity investments are classified within investing activities in our consolidated statement of cash flows.

Warrant

We entered into a warrant agreement in conjunction with a commercial agreement with Adyen that, subject to meeting certain conditions, entitled us to acquire a fixed number of shares up to 5% of Adyen’s fully diluted issued and outstanding share capital at a specific date. The warrant had a term of seven years and vested in a series of four tranches, at a specified price per share (fixed for the first two tranches) upon meeting processing volume milestone targets on a calendar year basis. When a relevant milestone was reached, the warrant became exercisable with respect to the corresponding tranche of warrant shares. The warrant expired on January 31, 2025.

In 2021, we met the processing volume milestone required to vest in the first tranche of the warrant and exercised the option to purchase shares of Adyen.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, we met the processing volume milestone required to vest in the second tranche of our warrant to purchase shares of Adyen. Upon vesting, we exercised the option to purchase shares of Adyen valued at $630 million in exchange for $108 million in cash. Cash paid related to the exercise of the second tranche of the warrant was classified as an investing activity in our consolidated statement of cash flows. As of December 31, 2024, the probability of meeting the processing volume milestone targets for remaining two tranches of the Adyen warrant was zero.
Refer to “Note 6 — Investments” for more information about our equity investments.

The warrant was accounted for as a derivative under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. As of December 31, 2023, the warrant was reported as a component of other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of the warrant were recognized in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net” in our consolidated statement of income. The day-one value attributable to the other side of the warrant, which was recognized as a deferred credit, was reported within “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in our consolidated balance sheet and was amortized over the life of the initial commercial arrangement. See “Note 8 — Fair Value Measurements” for information about the fair value measurement of the warrant.

Under the master netting agreements with the respective counterparties to our derivative contracts, subject to applicable requirements, we are allowed to net settle transactions of the same type with a single net amount payable by one party to the other. However, we have elected to present the derivative assets and derivative liabilities on a gross basis in our consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2024, the potential effect of rights of set-off associated with the foreign exchange contracts would be an offset to both assets and liabilities by $17 million, resulting in net derivative assets of $58 million. As of December 31, 2024, there was no potential effect of rights of set-off associated with the interest rate contracts as there were no liability positions.

Notional Amounts of Derivative Contracts

Derivative transactions are measured in terms of the notional amount, but this amount is not recognized in our consolidated balance sheet and is not, when viewed in isolation, a meaningful measure of the risk profile of the instruments. The notional amount is generally not exchanged, but is used only as the basis on which the value of foreign exchange payments under these contracts are determined. The following table presents the notional amounts of our outstanding derivatives as of the dates indicated (in millions):

Total$3,146 $3,924 

Credit Risk

Our derivatives expose us to credit risk to the extent that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the arrangement. We seek to mitigate such risk by limiting our counterparties to, and by spreading the risk across, major financial institutions. In addition, the potential risk of loss with any one counterparty resulting from this type of credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis.

Our financial assets and liabilities are valued using market prices on both active markets (Level 1), less active markets (Level 2) and little or no market activity (Level 3). Level 1 instrument valuations are obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets. Level 2 instrument valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for comparable instruments, identical instruments in less active markets, or models using market observable inputs. Level 3 instrument valuations typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. We did not have any transfers of financial instruments between valuation levels during 2024 or 2023.

Other financial instruments, including accounts receivable, funds receivable, accounts payable and funds payable, are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Fair value measurement of derivative instruments

The majority of our derivative instruments are valued using pricing models that take into account the contract terms as well as multiple inputs where applicable, such as equity prices, interest rate yield curves, option volatility and currency rates.

The Adyen warrant, which was accounted for as a derivative instrument, was valued using a Black-Scholes model. Key assumptions used in the valuation included risk-free interest rates; Adyen’s common stock price, equity volatility and common stock outstanding; exercise price; and details specific to the warrant. The value was also probability adjusted for management’s assumptions with respect to vesting of the remaining tranches which were each subject to meeting processing volume milestone targets. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we met the processing volume milestone required to vest in the second tranche of the Adyen warrant. As of December 31, 2024, the probability of meeting the processing volume milestone requirements for the remaining two tranches of the Adyen warrant was zero. The Adyen warrant expired on January 31, 2025. Refer to “Note 7 — Derivative Instruments” for further details on our derivative instruments.

Fair value measurement of equity investments

Certain equity investments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including our equity investment in Adevinta and equity investments under the fair value option.

Our equity investment in Adevinta was accounted for under the fair value option and classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as the fair value was measured based on Adevinta’s closing stock price and prevailing foreign exchange rate at each balance sheet date.

Our equity investment in Gmarket was accounted for under the fair value option and classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as valuation of the investment reflected management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset. In December 2024, we sold our remaining stake in Gmarket valued at $323 million.

Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Accounts receivable represents amounts invoiced and revenue recognized prior to invoicing when we have satisfied our performance obligation and have the unconditional right to payment. The allowance for doubtful accounts and authorized credits is estimated based upon our assessment of various factors including historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts and other factors that may affect our customers’ ability to pay. The allowance for doubtful accounts and authorized credits was $37 million and $49 million as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, we reported allowances for doubtful accounts of $13 million, reflecting a decrease of $10 million, net of write-offs of $29 million, for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, we reported allowances for authorized credits of $24 million, reflecting a decrease of $2 million, net of write-offs of $4 million, for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, we reported an allowance for doubtful accounts of $23 million and an allowance for authorized credits of $26 million.

Deferred revenue consists of fees received related to unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of the period. Due to the generally short-term duration of contracts, the majority of the performance obligations are satisfied in the following reporting period. The amount of revenue recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period was $32 million. The amount of revenue recognized during the year ended December 31, 2023 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period was $33 million.

Senior Notes

In 2024, we repaid the $750 million aggregate principal amount of our previously outstanding 3.450% senior notes on the date of maturity. Cash paid related to the repayment was classified as a financing activity in our consolidated statement of cash flows.

In 2023, we repaid the $1.2 billion aggregate principal amount of our previously outstanding floating rate and 2.750% senior notes on the date of maturity. Cash paid related to the repayment was classified as a financing activity in our consolidated statement of cash flows.

In 2022, we repaid the $1.4 billion aggregate principal amount of our previously outstanding 2.600% and 3.800% senior notes on the date of maturity. Cash paid related to the repayment was classified as a financing activity in our consolidated statement of cash flows.

In 2022, we issued senior notes of $1.2 billion aggregate principal amount, which consisted of $425 million aggregate principal amount of 5.900% fixed rate notes due 2025, $300 million aggregate principal amount of 5.950% fixed rate notes due to 2027 and $425 million aggregate principal amount of 6.300% fixed rate notes due 2032. Cash proceeds related to the issuance of our 5.900%, 5.950%, and 6.300% senior notes were classified as a financing activity in our consolidated statement of cash flows.
We may redeem some or all of the other fixed rate notes of each series at any time and from time to time prior to their maturity, generally at a make-whole redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

If a change of control triggering event (as defined in the applicable series of notes) occurs with respect to the 1.900% notes due 2025, the 5.900% notes due 2025, the 1.400% notes due 2026, the 3.600% notes due 2027, the 5.950% notes due 2027, the 2.700% notes due 2030, the 2.600% notes due 2031, the 6.300% notes due 2032, the 4.000% notes due 2042, or the 3.650% notes due 2051, we must, subject to certain exceptions, offer to repurchase all of the notes of the applicable series at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The indenture pursuant to which the senior notes were issued includes customary covenants that, among other things and subject to exceptions, limit our ability to incur, assume or guarantee debt secured by liens on specified assets or enter into sale and lease-back transactions with respect to specified properties, and also includes customary events of default with customary grace periods in certain circumstances, including payment defaults and bankruptcy-related defaults.

The effective interest rates for our senior notes include the interest payable, the amortization of debt issuance costs and the amortization of any original issue discount and premium on these senior notes. Interest on these senior notes is payable either quarterly or semiannually. Interest expense associated with these senior notes, including amortization of debt issuance costs, during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $247 million, $260 million and $231 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the estimated fair value of these senior notes, using Level 2 inputs, was $6.3 billion and $7.1 billion, respectively.

Commercial Paper

We have a commercial paper program pursuant to which we may issue commercial paper notes in an aggregate principal amount at maturity of up to $1.5 billion outstanding at any time with maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issue. In 2024, we issued and repaid $180 million of commercial paper notes with original maturities less than 90 days and issued $450 million of commercial paper notes with original maturities greater than 90 days. As of December 31, 2024, we had $450 million of commercial paper notes outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 5.10% per annum, and a weighted average remaining term of 144 days. As of December 31, 2023, there were no commercial paper notes outstanding. Cash proceeds related to the issuance of commercial paper and cash used to repay commercial paper were classified as financing activities in our consolidated statement of cash flows.

In January 2025, we repaid the $450 million aggregate principal amount of the previously outstanding commercial paper notes on the date of maturity.
Credit Agreement

In March 2020, we entered into a credit agreement that provided for an unsecured $2 billion five-year credit facility (the “Prior Credit Agreement”).

In January 2024, we terminated the Prior Credit Agreement and entered into a new credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that provides for an unsecured $2.0 billion five-year revolving credit facility. We may also, subject to the agreement of the applicable lenders, increase the commitments under the revolving credit facility by up to $1.0 billion. Funds borrowed under the Credit Agreement may be used for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes and will bear interest at either (i) a customary forward-looking term rate based on the secured overnight financing rate published by CME Group for the relevant interest period plus an adjustment of 0.1% or (ii) a customary base rate formula, plus a margin (based on our public debt ratings) ranging from 0% to 0.375%.

As of December 31, 2024, no borrowings were outstanding under our $2.0 billion Credit Agreement. However, as described above, we have an up to $1.5 billion commercial paper program and are required to maintain available borrowing capacity under our Credit Agreement in order to repay commercial paper borrowings in the event we are unable to repay those borrowings from other sources when they become due, in an aggregate amount of $1.5 billion. As of December 31, 2024, we had $450 million of commercial paper notes outstanding; therefore, $1.6 billion of borrowing capacity was available for other purposes permitted by the Credit Agreement, subject to customary conditions to borrowing. The Credit Agreement includes a covenant limiting our consolidated leverage ratio to no more than 4.0:1.0, subject to, upon the occurrence of a qualified material acquisition, if so elected by us, a step-up to 4.5:1.0 for the four fiscal quarters completed following such qualified material acquisition. The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, with corresponding grace periods in certain circumstances, including payment defaults, cross-defaults and bankruptcy-related defaults. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions regarding the incurrence of liens and subsidiary indebtedness, in each case, subject to customary exceptions. The Credit Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties.

We were in compliance with all financial covenants in our outstanding debt instruments for the period ended December 31, 2024.

Litigation and Other Legal Matters
 
We are involved in legal and regulatory proceedings on an ongoing basis. If we believe that a loss arising from such matters is probable and can be reasonably estimated, we accrue the estimated liability in our financial statements. If only a range of estimated losses can be determined, we accrue an amount within the range that, in our judgment, reflects the most likely outcome; if none of the estimates within that range is a better estimate than any other amount, we accrue the low end of the range. For those proceedings in which an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible but not probable, we have disclosed an estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of losses or we have concluded that an estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of losses arising directly from the proceeding (i.e., monetary damages or amounts paid in judgment or settlement) is not material. If we cannot estimate the probable or reasonably possible loss or range of losses arising from a proceeding, we have disclosed that fact. In assessing the materiality of a proceeding, we evaluate, among other factors, the amount of monetary damages claimed, as well as the potential impact of non-monetary remedies sought by plaintiffs (e.g., injunctive relief) that may require us to change our business practices in a manner that could have a material adverse impact on our business. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.

On January 31, 2024, the Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) and the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the “DEA Settlement Agreement”), which fully resolved DOJ’s allegations of noncompliance arising under the Controlled Substances Act. Pursuant to the DEA Settlement Agreement, the Company paid $59 million and agreed to implement enhanced processes regarding its monitoring and reporting of listings that violate the Company’s policies.

In January 2024, the Company also entered into a deferred prosecution agreement (the “DPA”) with the United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts (the “U.S. Attorney”) regarding potential criminal liability of the Company arising from the stalking and harassment in 2019 of the editor and publisher of Ecommercebytes, a website that publishes ecommerce news and information. Six former Company employees and one former contractor have pleaded guilty to crimes arising from the conduct. Pursuant to the terms of the DPA, the U.S. Attorney filed a six-count criminal Information in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts in January 2024 and agreed to defer any prosecution of the Company on those counts. Additionally, during the three-year term of the DPA, the Company is subject to an independent compliance monitor to assess its compliance program and, where appropriate, to modify that program. The Company also paid a $3 million penalty. If the Company successfully meets its obligations under the DPA, after three years, the DPA will expire, and the U.S. Attorney has agreed to dismiss the criminal Information against the Company. The editor and publisher also have a pending civil action against the Company arising from the above-described conduct.

On September 27, 2023, the DOJ, on behalf of the Environmental Protection Agency (collectively, the “Government”), filed a civil complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (the “District Court”) alleging that we are liable for the sale of regulated or illicit products manufactured and sold by third parties who listed such products on the Marketplace platforms in a manner that evaded and/or was designed to evade detection in violation of the Clean Air Act, Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act and the Toxic Substances Control Act. On September 30, 2024, the District Court issued an order dismissing the Government’s claims in their entirety. On November 26, 2024, the Government filed a Notice of Appeal with the Second Circuit, seeking review of the District Court’s decision. If the Government were to successfully appeal the decision and we were subsequently found to be liable for such activities on the Marketplace, we likely would be subject to monetary damages, compulsory changes in our business practices, or other remedies that could have a material adverse impact on our business. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we released amounts previously accrued for estimated losses in connection with the Government’s claims, for which we previously believed a loss was probable.
Amounts accrued for legal and regulatory proceedings for which we believe a loss is probable were not material as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $132 million as of December 31, 2023. We have concluded, based on currently available information, that reasonably possible losses arising directly from the proceedings (i.e., monetary damages or amounts paid in judgment or settlement) in excess of our recognized accruals are also not material. However, legal and regulatory proceedings are inherently unpredictable and subject to uncertainties. If one or more matters were resolved against us in a reporting period for amounts in excess of management’s expectations, the impact on our operating results or financial condition for that reporting period could be material.

Indemnification Provisions

We entered into a separation and distribution agreement and various other agreements with PayPal to govern the separation and relationship of the two companies. These agreements provide for specific indemnity and liability obligations and could lead to disputes between us and PayPal, which may be significant. In addition, the indemnity rights we have against PayPal under the agreements may not be sufficient to protect us and our indemnity obligations to PayPal may be significant.

In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. These agreements require us to indemnify such individuals, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, for certain liabilities to which they may become subject as a result of their affiliation with us.

In the ordinary course of business, we have included limited indemnification provisions in certain of our agreements with parties with which we have commercial relations, including our standard marketing, promotions and application programming interface license agreements. Under these contracts, we may indemnify, hold harmless and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party in connection with claims by a third party with respect to intellectual property infringement, including to our trademarks, logos and proprietary software, and other branding elements, such as domain names, to the extent that such are applicable to our performance under the subject agreement. In certain cases, we have agreed to provide indemnification for gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud and breach of representations, warranties and applicable law. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential loss under these indemnification provisions due to our limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular provision. To date, losses recognized in our consolidated statement of income in connection with our indemnification provisions have not been significant, either individually or collectively.

Preferred Stock

We are authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law, to issue preferred stock in one or more series; to establish the number of shares included within each series; to fix the rights, preferences and privileges of the shares of each wholly unissued series and any related qualifications, limitations or restrictions; and to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series (but not below the number of shares of a series then outstanding) without any further vote or action by our stockholders. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were 10 million shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock authorized for issuance, and no shares issued or outstanding.

Common Stock

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes us to issue 3.6 billion shares of common stock.

Stock Repurchase Program

Our stock repurchase programs are intended to programmatically offset the impact of dilution from our equity compensation programs and, subject to market conditions and other factors, to make opportunistic and programmatic repurchases of our common stock to reduce our outstanding share count and return value to stockholders. Any share repurchases under our stock repurchase programs may be made through open market transactions, block trades, privately negotiated transactions (including accelerated share repurchase transactions) or other means at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate and will be funded from our working capital or other financing alternatives. Our stock repurchase programs may be limited or terminated at any time without prior notice. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including corporate and regulatory requirements, price and other market conditions and management’s determination as to the appropriate use of our cash. Cash paid related to the repurchase of common stock was classified as a financing activity in our consolidated statement of cash flows.

In February and December 2024, our Board authorized an incremental $2.0 billion and $3.0 billion, respectively, under our stock repurchase program in addition to the $4.0 billion previously authorized in 2022. Our stock repurchase program has no expiration from the date of authorization.

Employee Benefit Plans Employee Benefit Plans
Equity Incentive Plans

We have equity incentive plans under which we grant equity awards inclusive of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and performance-based restricted stock units (“PBRSUs”) to our directors, officers and employees. As of December 31, 2024, 785 million shares were authorized under our equity incentive plans and 34 million shares were available for future grant.

RSU awards granted to eligible employees under our equity incentive plans generally vest in annual or quarterly installments over a period of four years and are subject to continued employment.

In 2024, 2023 and 2022, certain executives were eligible to receive PBRSUs. Each PBRSU cycle has a three-year performance period (consisting of the average performance each year relative to the financial performance goals for that year), along with a total shareholder return modifier based on the Company’s stock performance relative to the S&P 500 over a three-year performance period. The financial performance goals for each year of the performance period are approved by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee at the beginning of that year. The target number of shares subject to the PBRSU award are adjusted based on the Company’s actual performance in relation to the target financial performance and then adjusted by the total shareholder return modifier at the end of the applicable performance period. Any earned PBRSUs vest, if at all, in March following the end of the applicable three-year performance period.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

We have an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) for eligible employees. Under the ESPP, shares of our common stock may be purchased over an offering period with a maximum duration of two years at 85% of the lower of the fair market value on the first day of the applicable offering period or on the last day of the six-month purchase period. Employees may purchase shares having a value not exceeding 10% of their eligible compensation during an offering period and subject to statutory limits. During 2024, employees purchased approximately 3 million shares under this plan compared to 2 million shares in both 2023 and 2022 at average prices of $33.14, $33.63 and $38.04 per share, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, approximately 26 million shares of common stock were reserved for future issuance.

Restricted Stock Unit Activity

As of December 31, 2024, there was $810 million of unearned stock-based compensation that will be expensed from 2025 through 2029. If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested awards, we may be required to accelerate, increase or cancel all or a portion of the remaining unearned stock-based compensation expense. Future unearned stock-based compensation will increase to the extent we grant additional equity awards, change the mix of grants between stock options and restricted stock units or assume unvested equity awards in connection with acquisitions.

Employee Savings Plans

We have a defined contribution plan, which is qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Participating employees may contribute up to 50% of their eligible earned compensation, but not more than statutory limits. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we contributed one dollar for each dollar a participant contributed, with a maximum contribution of 4% of each employee’s eligible earned compensation, subject to a maximum employer contribution of $13,800, $13,200 and $12,200 per employee for each period, respectively. Our non-U.S. employees are covered by various other savings plans. Total expense for these plans was $70 million, $61 million and $58 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

As of December 31, 2024, our federal, state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes were $27 million, $34 million and $126 million, respectively. The federal and state net operating loss carryforwards are subject to various limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state tax laws. If not utilized, the federal and state net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2027 and 2025, respectively. The carryforward periods on our foreign net operating loss carryforwards are as follows: $4 million do not expire and $122 million are subject to valuation allowance and begin to expire in 2025. As of December 31, 2024, state tax credit carryforwards for income tax purposes were $205 million. Most of the state tax credits carry forward indefinitely.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we maintained a valuation allowance with respect to certain of our deferred tax assets relating primarily to operating losses in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions and certain state tax credits and capital losses that we believe are not likely to be realized.

We have recognized the tax consequences of all foreign unremitted earnings and management has no specific plans to indefinitely reinvest the unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries as of the balance sheet date. As of December 31, 2024, $292 million of our liability for deemed repatriation of foreign earnings was included in “Income taxes payable” in our consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2023, $292 million of our liability for deemed repatriation of foreign earnings was included in “Other liabilities” in our consolidated balance sheet. We have not provided for deferred taxes on outside basis differences in our investments in our foreign subsidiaries that are unrelated to unremitted earnings. These basis differences will be indefinitely reinvested. A determination of the unrecognized deferred taxes related to these other components of our outside basis difference is not practicable.

As of December 31, 2024, gross amounts of unrecognized tax benefits of $674 million included $45 million of unrecognized tax benefits indemnified by PayPal. As of December 31, 2023, gross amounts of unrecognized tax benefits of $613 million included $51 million of unrecognized tax benefits indemnified by PayPal. If total unrecognized tax benefits were realized in a future period, it would result in a tax benefit of $499 million. Of this amount, $41 million of unrecognized tax benefit is indemnified by PayPal and a corresponding receivable would be reduced upon a future realization. As of December 31, 2024, our liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits were included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and “Other liabilities” in our consolidated balance sheet.

As of December 31, 2024, and 2023 we had accrued interest and penalty expense related to uncertain tax positions of $130 million and $94 million, respectively, net of income tax benefits. The “Income tax (benefit) provision” for 2024 and 2023 included interest expense related to uncertain tax positions of $31 million and $30 million, respectively, net of tax benefits. The “Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes,” for 2024 and 2023 included interest expense related to uncertain tax positions of $1 million and $7 million, respectively, net of tax benefits.
 
We are subject to both direct and indirect taxation in the United States and various states and foreign jurisdictions. We are under examination by certain tax authorities for the 2010 to 2022 tax years. We believe that adequate amounts have been reserved for any adjustments that may ultimately result from these or other examinations. The material jurisdictions where we are subject to potential examination by tax authorities for tax years after 2009 include, among others, the United States (Federal and California), Germany, India, Israel, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
 
The timing of the resolution and/or closure of audits is highly uncertain. Given the number of years remaining subject to examination and the number of matters being examined, we are unable to estimate the full range of possible adjustments to the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits. We expect the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits to be reduced within the next 12 months by at least $170 million.

Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]
Risk Management and Strategy

Our approach to risk management is designed to identify, assess, prioritize and manage risk exposures that could affect our ability to execute our corporate strategy and fulfill our business objectives. As part of our comprehensive enterprise risk management (“ERM”) program, we perform risk assessments in which we map and prioritize cybersecurity risks identified through the processes described below, including risks associated with our use of third-party service providers, based on probability, immediacy and potential magnitude. These assessments inform our ERM strategies and oversight processes, and we view cybersecurity risks as one of the key risk categories we face. For example, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to cyberattacks (including ransomware attacks) or other security incidents, as a result of which unauthorized third parties may be able to access our users’ proprietary information and payment card data that are stored on or accessible through our systems. For more information regarding the cybersecurity-related risks we face, see the information in “Item 1A: Risk Factors” under the caption “Cyberattacks and data security breaches and incidents could significantly damage our reputation, reduce our revenues, increase our costs, result in litigation and regulatory penalties, and otherwise harm our business.”

Our processes for assessing, identifying and managing cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities are embedded across our business as part of our ERM program. Among other things, we (i) conduct audits and tests of our information systems (including reviews and assessments by independent third-party advisors) to help identify areas for continued focus and improvement; (ii) review cybersecurity threat information published by government entities and other organizations in which we participate; (iii) provide cybersecurity awareness training for all employees and enhanced training for information security and other specialized personnel; (iv) perform phishing simulation testing of all employees; (v) perform security risk assessments of third-party providers to evaluate controls, mitigations and contractual obligations, as well as reporting obligations in connection with cybersecurity events and other risks that could have an adverse impact on eBay data and information systems; (vi) perform security risk assessments of newly acquired companies as well as material changes to products and technologies and (vii) run tabletop exercises to simulate and test responses to cybersecurity incidents. We also maintain a “bug bounty” program to encourage professional security researchers to report potential security vulnerabilities to us. We use the findings from these and other processes, as well as benchmarking against industry practices, to improve our cybersecurity practices, procedures and technologies. We also have implemented and maintain cybersecurity incident response plans, which include processes to triage, assess, escalate, contain, investigate and remediate cybersecurity incidents, and to comply with potentially applicable legal obligations and mitigate brand and reputational damage. In addition, we maintain insurance to protect against potential losses arising from a cybersecurity incident.

Cybersecurity Risk Board of Directors Oversight [Text Block] Our ERM program enables our Board to establish a mutual understanding with management on the effectiveness of our cybersecurity risk management practices and capabilities, including the division of responsibilities for reviewing our risk exposure and risk tolerance, tracking emerging risks and ensuring proper escalation of certain key risks for periodic review by the Board and its committees. As part of its broader risk oversight activities, the Board oversees risks from cybersecurity threats, both directly and through its committees.
Cybersecurity Risk Board Committee or Subcommittee Responsible for Oversight [Text Block] As part of its broader risk oversight activities, the Board oversees risks from cybersecurity threats, both directly and through its committees. In November 2024, the Board formed a Technology Committee (the “Technology Committee”) and assigned it certain oversight responsibilities previously within the remit of the Risk Committee of the Board (the “Risk Committee”), including oversight responsibilities relating to cybersecurity. Accordingly, practices and responsibilities attributed to the Technology Committee within this “Item 1C: Cybersecurity” were undertaken by the Risk Committee until November 2024. As reflected in their respective charters, the Technology Committee now assists the Board in its management of cybersecurity and data management risks, and the Risk Committee continues to oversee our ERM function and structure, including governance structure and our guidelines and processes for risk assessment and risk management. The Audit Committee of the Board also oversees our audits and tests of our cybersecurity practices and controls, as well as our internal control over financial reporting, including with respect to financial reporting-related information systems.
Cybersecurity Risk Process for Informing Board Committee or Subcommittee Responsible for Oversight [Text Block] The Technology Committee discusses these risks with our Chief Technology Officer (“CTO”) and Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”) and reports to the Board on the substance of these reviews and discussions.
Cybersecurity Risk Role of Management [Text Block]
We maintain an information security policy, which was approved by the Board and delegates to our CISO the authority and responsibility for managing our information security program. Our CISO reports to our CTO and is responsible for day-to-day identification, assessment and management of the cybersecurity risks we face. Along with other senior managers, our CTO and CISO are also responsible for prioritizing cybersecurity risks and developing a culture of risk-aware practices. Existing and emerging cybersecurity risks are reported to and discussed with the CTO and CISO on a regular basis and as needed based on the threat level or severity of an incident.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including but not limited to those related to provisions for transaction losses, legal contingencies, income taxes, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, investments, including Level 3 investments, warrants and the recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are consolidated and include the financial statements of eBay Inc. and our wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Minority interests are recognized as a noncontrolling interest. A qualitative approach is applied to assess the consolidation requirement for variable interest entities. Generally, investments in entities where we hold at least a 20% ownership interest and have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, including those in which the fair value option has been elected.

For equity method investments, our share of the investees’ results of operations is included in “Interest income and other, net” and investment balances are included in “Long-term investments.” For equity method investments under the fair value option, the change in fair value of the investment is included in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net” and investment balances are included in “Long-term investments,” other than our equity interest in Adevinta ASA (“Adevinta”), which was included in the “Current assets” section on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 as discussed in “Note 6 — Investments.” Investments in entities where we hold less than a 20% ownership interest are generally accounted for as equity investments to be measured at fair value, under an election, or at cost if it does not have readily determinable fair value, in which case the carrying value would be adjusted upon the occurrence of an observable price change in an orderly transaction for identical or similar instruments or impairment.
Effective January 1, 2024, certain immaterial prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Specifically, immaterial restricted cash balances previously reported as components of “Short-term investments” and “Long-term investments” are now reported within the “Other current assets” and “Other assets” sections, respectively, in our consolidated balance sheet.

We recognize revenue when we transfer control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. As part of our revenue recognition analysis, we are required to identify each distinct performance obligation.

Marketplace revenues

Marketplace revenues primarily consist of commissions related to the connection service including final value fees, listing fees, feature fees, and foreign exchange fees. Marketplace revenues also include store subscription fees, shipping fees, and certain other fees. Marketplace revenues are reduced by customer incentive programs, including discounts, coupons, and rewards.

The connection service represents a single distinct performance obligation, which is to connect buyers and sellers on our secure and trusted Marketplace platforms. Revenue is recognized at the point in time an item is paid for, satisfying the performance obligation.

Store subscription and other nonstandard pricing contracts may contain multiple performance obligations, including discounts on future services. Determining whether performance obligations should be accounted for separately or combined may require significant judgment. The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on its stand-alone selling price (“SSP”). In instances where SSP is not directly observable, we generally estimate selling prices based on when they are sold to customers of a similar nature and geography. These estimates are generally based on pricing strategies, market factors, strategic objectives and observable inputs. Store subscription revenues are recognized over the subscription period, and discounts offered through store subscription or nonstandard pricing contracts are recognized when the options are exercised or when the options expire.

Revenues related to shipping services are recognized based on whether we are the principal and are responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified services or whether we are an agent arranging for those services to be provided by our partners. Determining whether we are a principal or agent in these contracts may require significant judgment. If we are the principal, we recognize revenue in the gross amount of consideration received from the customer, whereas if we are an agent, we recognize revenue net of the consideration due to our partners at a point in time when the services are provided. Our most significant revenue share arrangements are with shipping service providers. We are primarily acting as an agent in these contracts and revenues are recognized at a point in time when we have satisfied our promise of connecting the shipping service provider to our customer. In the first quarter of 2023, we launched an international shipping program, a service designed to simplify and reduce the cost of international exports in the United States. Under this program, eBay acts as principal as we are primarily responsible for providing these international shipping services in exchange for a fee charged to the buyer. Revenue is recognized over time from the point of checkout to the point of delivery.
Further, to drive traffic to our Marketplace platforms, we provide incentives to buyers and sellers in various forms including discounts on fees, discounts on items sold, coupons and rewards. Evaluating whether a promotion or incentive is a payment to a customer may require significant judgment. Promotions and incentives that are consideration payable to a customer are recognized as a reduction of revenue at the later of when revenue is recognized or when we pay or promise to pay the incentive. Promotions and incentives to most buyers on our Marketplace platforms, to whom we have no performance obligation, are recognized as sales and marketing expense. In addition, we may provide credits to customers when we refund certain fees. Credits are accounted for as variable consideration at contract inception when estimating the amount of revenue to be recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur and updated as additional information becomes available.

Advertising revenues

Advertising revenues primarily consist of first-party fees paid to promote listings on our Marketplace platforms, as well as third-party advertising fees. First-party advertising services are provided to sellers to promote their listings through on-site or off-site sponsored ads and are a distinct performance obligation for which revenue is recognized when (or over the period) these services are performed. Third-party advertising revenues are derived principally from the sale of online advertisements that are based on impressions or clicks delivered to advertisers. We recognize revenue in the contracted period in which the ads are clicked and the impressions are displayed.
Internal use software and platform development costs
Internal use software and platform development costs
Direct costs incurred to develop software for internal use and platform development costs are capitalized and amortized over an estimated useful life of one to five years. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we capitalized costs, primarily related to labor and stock-based compensation, of $108 million and $115 million, respectively. Amortization of previously capitalized amounts was $114 million, $123 million and $129 million for 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Costs related to the design or maintenance of internal use software and platform development are expensed as incurred.
Marketing expense
Marketing expense
We expense marketing costs according to the terms of each agreement, typically when incurred or over the period during which the advertising space or airtime is used, in each case as sales and marketing expense.
Stock-based compensation
Stock-based compensation
We have equity incentive plans under which we grant equity awards, including stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and performance-based restricted stock units (“PBRSUs”), to our directors, officers and employees. We primarily issue RSUs. We determine compensation expense associated with RSUs based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant. We determine compensation expense associated with stock options based on the estimated grant date fair value method using the Black-Scholes valuation model. We generally recognize compensation expense using a straight-line amortization method over the respective vesting period for awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Accordingly, stock-based compensation expense for 2024, 2023 and 2022 has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. When estimating forfeitures, we consider voluntary termination behaviors as well as trends of actual option forfeitures. We recognize a benefit or provision from stock-based compensation in earnings as a component of “Income tax benefit (provision)” to the extent that an incremental tax benefit or deficiency is realized by following the ordering provisions of the tax law.
Provision for transaction losses
Provision for transaction losses

Provision for transaction losses consists primarily of losses resulting from our buyer protection programs, chargebacks for unauthorized credit card use, and merchant related chargebacks due to non-delivery of goods or services.
Provision for transaction losses represents our estimate of actual losses based on our historical experience and many other factors including changes to our protection programs and macroeconomic conditions.
Customer accounts and funds receivable
Customer accounts and funds receivable

Customer accounts represent cash received from buyers that is held by financial institutions. Due to safeguarding requirements in certain regions, a portion of this balance is considered restricted. Funds receivable represents customer cash in transit and held by payment processors. These balances are associated with marketplace activity and are awaiting payment to sellers.
We are exposed to credit losses from customer accounts and funds receivable balances held by third party financial institutions and payment processors. We assess these balances for credit loss based on a review of the average period for which the funds are held, current credit ratings and our assessment of the probability of default and loss given default models.
Customer accounts and funds payable
Customer accounts and funds payable

These balances primarily represent the Company’s liability towards its customers to settle funds from the completed transactions on our Marketplace platforms associated with marketplace activity.
Income taxes
Income taxes

Significant judgment is required in determining our tax expense and in evaluating our tax positions, including evaluating uncertainties and the complexity of taxes on foreign earnings. We review our tax positions quarterly and adjust the balances as new information becomes available. Tax positions are evaluated for potential reserves for uncertainty based on the estimated probability of sustaining the position under examination. Our income tax rate is affected by the tax rates that apply to our foreign earnings including U.S. minimum taxes on foreign earnings. The deferred tax benefit derived from the amortization of our intellectual property is based on the fair value, which has been agreed with foreign tax authorities. The deferred tax benefit may from time to time change based on changes in tax rates. 

We account for income taxes using an asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of current and deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions of enacted tax laws; the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated. If necessary, the measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced by the amount of any tax benefits that are not expected to be realized based on available evidence.
We report a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash

Cash and cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased, which may include bank deposits, U.S. Treasury securities, time deposits, and certificates of deposit.

We consider cash to be restricted when withdrawal or general use is legally restricted. Restricted cash is held in interest bearing accounts for letters of credit related to our global sabbatical program and for certain amounts related to other compensation arrangements held in escrow. We also hold restricted cash in segregated bank accounts for purposes of safeguarding customer funds.
Investments
Investments

“Short-term investments” are primarily comprised of corporate debt securities, commercial paper and government and agency securities. “Short-term investments” are investments with maturities of less than one year, are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value using the specific identification method. Short-term investments also include equity securities with readily determinable fair values that can be sold in active markets.

“Long-term investments” are primarily comprised of corporate debt securities, government and agency securities, equity investments under the fair value option (other than our equity interest in Adevinta which was reported within the “Current assets” section in our consolidated balance sheet), equity investments under the equity method of accounting and equity investments without readily determinable fair values. Debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value using the specific identification method.

Unrealized gains and losses on our available-for-sale debt securities are excluded from earnings and reported as a component of “Other comprehensive income (loss),” net of related estimated income tax provisions or benefits. We periodically assess our portfolio of debt investments for impairment. For debt securities in an unrealized loss position, this assessment first takes into account our intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of these criteria are met, the debt security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through “Interest income and other, net.” For debt securities in an unrealized loss position that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, we assess whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, we consider the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss may exist, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses will be recognized through “Interest income and other, net,” limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any additional impairment not recognized through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recognized as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of an available-for-sale security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. These changes are recognized in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net.”

Our equity investments include equity investments with readily determinable fair values, equity investments without readily determinable fair values and equity investments under the equity method of accounting, including those in which the fair value option has been elected. Our equity investment in Adevinta is described in a separate section under “Equity investment in Adevinta” in this Note.

Equity investments with readily determinable fair values are investments in publicly-traded companies for which we do not exercise significant influence and are measured at fair value based on the respective closing stock price and prevailing foreign exchange rate, as applicable, at the period end date. Equity investments with readily determinable fair values are classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as the valuation can be obtained from real time quotes in active markets. Subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net.”

Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are non-marketable equity securities, which are investments in privately-held companies for which we do not exercise significant influence and are accounted for under the measurement alternative. Under the measurement alternative, the carrying value is measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. We perform a qualitative fair value assessment on a quarterly basis over our equity investments without readily determinable fair values to identify any changes in basis or impairments. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are considered impaired when there is an indication that the fair value of our interest is less than the carrying amount. Changes in value and impairments of equity investments without readily determinable fair values are recognized in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net.”
We account for equity investments through which we exercise significant influence but do not have control over the investee under the equity method or under the fair value option. For equity method investments, our consolidated results of operations include, as a component of “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net,” our share of the net income or loss of the equity investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Our share of equity method investees’ results of operations was not material for any period presented. We perform a qualitative impairment assessment on a quarterly basis over our equity method investments. Equity method investments are considered impaired when there is an indication of an other-than-temporary decline in value below the carrying amount. Impairments and any other adjustments to equity method investments are recognized in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net.”

Equity investments under the fair value option are measured at fair value based on a quarterly valuation analysis or using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient. Equity investments measured at fair value based on a quarterly valuation analysis are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, as the valuation reflects management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the equity investment. Equity investments measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient are not classified in the fair value hierarchy. Subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net.”
Equity Investment in Adevinta
Equity investment in Adevinta

At the initial recognition of our equity investment in Adevinta, we elected the fair value option where subsequent changes in fair value were recognized in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net” in our consolidated statement of income. The investment was reported within the “Current assets” section in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 and was classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as the valuation could be obtained from real time quotes in active markets based on Adevinta’s closing stock price and prevailing foreign exchange rate. On May 29, 2024, we completed the previously announced sale of our stake in Adevinta in exchange for cash and shares of a new entity, Aurelia.
Leases
Leases

We determine if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at the commencement date. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for our operating leases, we generally use an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. Operating right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are generally recognized based on the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability. Our leases have remaining lease terms of up to ten years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to five years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within one year. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We account for lease and fixed non-lease components as a single lease component for our data center leases. Lease and non-lease components for all other leases are accounted for separately.

Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, other current liabilities and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation for equipment, buildings and leasehold improvements commences once they are ready for our intended use. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally, one to four years for computer equipment and software, up to thirty years for buildings and building improvements, the shorter of five years or the term of the lease for leasehold improvements and three years for furniture, fixtures and vehicles. Land is not depreciated.
Goodwill and intangible assets
Goodwill and intangible assets

Goodwill is tested for impairment at a minimum on an annual basis at the reporting unit level. A qualitative assessment can be performed to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the reporting unit does not pass the qualitative assessment, then the reporting unit’s carrying value is compared to its fair value. The fair value of the reporting unit is estimated using income and market approaches. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The discounted cash flow method, a form of the income approach, uses expected future operating results and a market participant discount rate. The market approach uses comparable company prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions (either publicly traded entities or mergers and acquisitions) to develop pricing metrics to be applied to historical and expected future operating results of our reporting unit. Failure to achieve these expected results, changes in the discount rate or market pricing metrics may cause a future impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit. We conducted our annual impairment test of goodwill as of August 31, 2024 and 2023 and determined that no adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill for any reporting unit was required. 

Intangible assets consist of purchased customer lists and user base, marketing related, developed technologies and other intangible assets, including patents and contractual agreements. Intangible assets are amortized over the period of estimated benefit using the straight-line method and estimated useful lives ranging from three to eight years. No significant residual value is estimated for intangible assets.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Impairment of long-lived assets
We evaluate long-lived assets (including leases and intangible assets) for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flow the asset is expected to generate.
Foreign currency
Foreign currency

Most of our foreign subsidiaries use the local currency of their respective countries as their functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date, while revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the year. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of our consolidated balance sheet are recognized as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income.”
Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are recognized as “Interest income and other, net.”
Derivative instruments
Derivative instruments

We use derivative financial instruments, primarily forwards, options and swaps, to hedge certain foreign currency and interest rate exposures. We may also use other derivative instruments not designated as hedges, such as forwards to hedge foreign currency balance sheet exposures. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. 
We also entered into a warrant agreement in addition to a commercial agreement with Adyen N.V. (“Adyen”) that, subject to meeting certain conditions, entitled us to acquire a fixed number of shares up to 5% of Adyen’s fully diluted issued and outstanding share capital at a specific date. The warrant was accounted for as a derivative instrument under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The warrant expired on January 31, 2025.
Concentration of credit risk
Concentration of credit risk

Our cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, customer accounts and funds receivable, available-for-sale debt securities and derivative instruments are potentially subject to concentration of credit risk. Cash and cash equivalents are placed with financial institutions that management believes are of high credit quality. In each of the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, no customer accounted for more than 10% of net revenues. Our derivative instruments expose us to credit risk to the extent that our counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements And Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-08—Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The guidance requires the recognition and measurement of contract assets and contract liabilities from revenue contracts by an acquirer in a business combination and clarifies that an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts at the acquisition date as if it had originated the contracts in accordance with existing revenue guidance. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2022 with no material impact in our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01—Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging—Portfolio Layer Method. The guidance expands the scope of financial assets that can be included in a closed portfolio hedged using the portfolio layer method to allow consistent accounting for similar hedges. The expanded scope permits the application of the same portfolio hedging method to both prepayable and nonprepayable financial assets. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2022 with no material impact in our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03-Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The guidance clarifies the fair value measurement guidance for equity securities subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security. Further, the guidance introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2023 with no material impact in our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07—Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The guidance is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses enabling investors to better understand an entity’s overall performance and assess potential future cash flows. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2024 with no material impact in our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-08—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets. The guidance addresses the accounting and disclosure requirements for certain crypto assets and requires entities to subsequently measure certain crypto assets at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income in each reporting period. In addition, entities are required to provide additional disclosures about the holdings of certain crypto assets. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact in our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09—Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The guidance is intended to further standardize income tax disclosures primarily related to the presentation of the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information in our financial statements and disclosures. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are evaluating the effect that this standard may have in our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03—Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The guidance is intended to improve disclosures about expenses and address requests from investors for more transparent expense information through disaggregation of relevant expense captions in the notes to the financial statements. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are evaluating the effect that this standard may have in our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
