    "I got it on eBay" is barreling its way into the lexicon of the new millennium and placing a cyber-grin on the corporate face of online auctioneer extraordinaire eBay. The company is a cyber-forum for selling more than 50,000 categories of merchandise -- from Beanie Babies to fine antiques -- hosting about 500,000 online stores worldwide. eBay, which generates revenue through listing and selling fees and through advertising, boasts more than 275 million registered users. In 2007, eBay acquired one of the fastest growing online ticket sellers, StubHub, for $307 million.
