    One of the early items sold on eBay was Omidyar's broken laser pointer for $13.83.

    Pierre Omidyar founded eBay in 1995.

    Source(s): The frequently repeated story that eBay was founded to help Omidyar's fiancée trade PEZ Candy dispensers was fabricated by a public relations manager in 1997 to interest the media. This was revealed in Adam Cohen's 2002 book[2] and confirmed by eBay.
