The online auction website ebay was founded as AuctionWeb in San Jose, California, on September 5, 1995, by French-born Iranian-American computer programmer Pierre Omidyar. Omidyar tried to register the domain name as echobay.com, but found it already taken by the Echo Bay Mines which is a gold mining company where he shortened it as his second choice and decided to go for eBay.com
