Synopsis
When Pierre Omidyar decided to start an online auction site, his friends told him he was crazy. But within a few years, Omidyar was worth $4 billion and the company he founded, eBay, was the most successful e-commerce site in history. Once a tiny auction site overrun with Beanie Baby listings, today eBay is a commercial powerhouse where millions of users buy and sell everything from antique pickle jars and record albums to Ford trucks and $40,000 computer servers. Now, in The Perfect Store, award-winning journalist Adam Cohen takes us inside eBay for the first time. Cohen was given greater access to eBay than any reporter ever before. He not only spoke to every important player - including CEO Meg Whitman - but eBay issued him a company ID and gave him a work space in its Silicon Valley headquarters.
The Perfect Store is the perfect book for anyone who wants to get a handle on what works in the Internet economy. And for anyone who wants to explore the life and times of the most vibrant community in cyberspace.

Review
"eBay's story is amazing, and Mr. Cohen's enthusiasm carries you along.... His prose is brisk and cheerful as the blue-red-gold-etc. of the famous eBay logo."
"A fly-on-the-wall look at how eBay got to be eBay, how a company unlike any other oozed into our consciousness and into our lives and, amidst all the lousy gunk on the Internet that failed, managed to not only remain standing (which, given the Internet bust, would have still been a feat in itself) but profitable."
"Cohen is a thorough reporter who skillfully synthesizes the story of eBay's corporate evolution with profiles of more peripheral figures (e.g., the Indiana housewife who started off pedding old videogames but quickly became the biggest supplier of shipping materials to other eBay sellers)."
