Description
eBay Inc. is an American multinational e-commerce company based in San Jose, California, that allows users to buy or view items via retail sales through online marketplaces and websites in 190 markets worldwide. Sales occur either via online auctions or "Buy It Now" instant sales, and the company charges commissions to sellers upon sale. eBay was founded by Pierre Omidyar in September 1995. In 2021, eBay had approximately 17 million global sellers; in 2023, it reported 132 million annual active buyers worldwide and handled $73 billion in transactions, 48% of which were in the United States. In 2023, the company had a take rate (revenue as a percentage of volume) of 13.81%.

The full register, from 13F filings
The Register tab above is hand research: a dozen holders, each traced to the filing it came from. This asks the same question of the whole market for the quarter ended 31-mar-2026, where 1,218 managers reported a position. Broad where the research is deep, and shallow in the ways a 13F always is.
1,218 managers reported a position, together holding 408.9m shares, or 92.1% of the company. The 40 largest are listed. Percentages are of the 444.0m shares outstanding at 24 Apr 2026, the count in force when this quarter was measured rather than the count today.
Built from 13F filings, which report US listed, long, US custodied positions only. A register from this source is a floor rather than a level: a holder's true position can be far larger, as BlackRock's ASML stake shows at 1.28m shares in a 13F against 26.3m in its 13G/A. Holdings held through derivatives, outside US custody, or below a manager's reporting obligation do not appear. Where a holder is marked as a family, its total sums several separate filing entities and describes something no single filing describes; the constituent entities and their share counts are listed so the total can be checked. That roll-up can legitimately exceed the family's own Schedule 13G, because a 13G is filed by one legal entity: Vanguard reports Alphabet through ten advisory entities, and The Vanguard Group Inc itself reported zero after its January 2026 disaggregation.
What a reader needs to know to read these numbers
- eBay Inc. does not file Form 13F: its EDGAR submissions feed (checked in full) lists 10-K, 10-Q, DEF 14A, 8-K, S-3ASR, S-8, Schedule 13D/13D-A/13G/13G-A and Forms 3/4, but no 13F-HR or 13F-NT. eBay is an operating company, not an investment manager, so this is expected.
- Holdings side: eBay has exited every well-known equity stake except its residual interest in Aurelia. Adevinta ASA: fully exited in Q2 2024, when eBay sold 227 million shares for $2.4 billion cash and exchanged 177 million further shares for shares in a new entity, Aurelia Netherlands TopCo B.V., which took Adevinta private; eBay held a 33% equity interest in Adevinta before this transaction. Adyen N.V.: shares fully sold in 2024 (FY2025 10-K: 'Realized change in fair value of shares sold in Adyen' of $(57) million in 2024, proceeds of $573 million); a separate warrant to acquire up to 5% of Adyen's fully diluted shares, received alongside a commercial agreement, expired unexercised on 31 Jan 2025. Gmarket Global LLC (eBay's former South Korean joint venture, distinct from the 2021 sale of eBay Korea/Gmarket-and-Auction to Emart): eBay's remaining 19.99% stake was sold in Q4 2024 for $322 million cash. KakaoBank: sold in 2023 for $106 million cash proceeds per the FY2025 10-K cash-flow statement; not otherwise described in the narrative text searched. None of these four is carried as a holdings row; each is a sourced finding of a disposed position, not a gap.
- The only current named equity stake is Aurelia Netherlands TopCo B.V. (the Adevinta take-private vehicle): approximately 8.3% of its total outstanding preferred and common shares as of 30 Jun 2026, carrying value $474 million, private (target_is_private true). Two other equity-investment buckets exist in the Q2 2026 10-Q but contain no named investees and are therefore not holdings rows, per the rule against assigning a combined balance to an individual investee: 'Certain other individually immaterial equity investments' under the measurement alternative, $196 million as of 30 Jun 2026 ($172 million at 31 Dec 2025); 'Certain individually immaterial equity investments' under the equity method, $48 million as of 30 Jun 2026 ($49 million at 31 Dec 2025); and 'Certain individually immaterial equity investments... measured at fair value using the net asset value per share' (fund/LP-style interests) under the fair value option, $55 million as of both dates. Total equity investments across all three buckets were $773 million as of 30 Jun 2026 ($929 million at 31 Dec 2025); this total and its three components are recorded in unknowns since no per-investee breakdown is disclosed.
- Register: institutional 13F figures are the fresher Q2 2026 (30 Jun 2026) filings, preferred over eBay's own 2026 proxy's 5% Owners table, which cites older Schedule 13G/13G-A dates: BlackRock as of 31 Dec 2023 (43,874,025 shares, 9.86%), Vanguard Capital Management LLC and Vanguard Portfolio Management LLC each as of 31 Mar 2026 (33,728,890 and 23,459,787 shares respectively), and State Street as of 31 Dec 2024 (24,437,654 shares, 5.49%). All four proxy figures are higher than the corresponding Q2 2026 13F figures used in the register (BlackRock 39,435,323; Vanguard family 50,495,801; State Street 21,812,915), consistent with these large holders having trimmed since their respective 13G measurement dates rather than an error in either source; both figures are preserved here for reconciliation rather than one overwriting the other.
- Vanguard case: parent CIK 0000102909 filed Form 13F-NT (notice, no holdings) for Q2 2026, so per the brief's rule the register carries the SUM of its successor filers, not a substitution: Vanguard Capital Management LLC (CIK 0002100119, 28,993,850 shares) and Vanguard Portfolio Management LLC (CIK 0002100121, 21,501,951 shares), totaling 50,495,801 shares. These are the same two successor CIKs identified for this parent on other companies researched in this project, consistent with one global 2026 Vanguard restructuring rather than a company-specific split. Other Vanguard-affiliated 13F filers (for example Vanguard Advisers Inc, Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Co) were not individually checked; see unknowns.
- Capital Group family: all three entities checked for Q2 2026 EBAY holdings by CUSIP 278642103 and name-fragment search. Capital World Investors (CIK 0001422849): zero. Capital International Investors (CIK 0001562230): zero. Capital Research Global Investors (CIK 0001422848): zero. No Capital Group row is included in the register.
- T. Rowe Price family: both entities checked. T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (CIK 0000080255) holds 3,178,621 shares (see the thousands-trap method_note on its register row). T. Rowe Price Investment Management, Inc. (CIK 0001897612), the separate registrant, filed its own Q2 2026 13F-HR and holds zero EBAY shares, checked by CUSIP and by name-fragment search across its full info table.
- eBay has a single class of common stock, $0.001 par value, one vote per share, and no founder-control or dual-class structure. Founder Pierre Omidyar does not appear as a 5% beneficial owner in the 2026 proxy.
- Self-gate: 11 register rows (9 institutional/13F rows plus 2 insider rows from the proxy). Members = Jamie Iannone's 1,524,547 shares, rolled into the 'All current directors and executive officers as a group (18 persons)' container, whose residual counts at 2,960,856 - 1,524,547 = 1,436,309. Sum: Vanguard 50,495,801 + BlackRock 39,435,323 + State Street 21,812,915 + Geode 12,557,902 + Morgan Stanley 8,673,828 + FMR 7,960,741 + T. Rowe Price 3,178,621 + JPMorgan 2,115,416 + Norges Bank 1,315,606 + Iannone 1,524,547 + group residual 1,436,309 = 150,507,009 shares, or 33.82% of 445,000,000 shares outstanding. This sits comfortably within the brief's typical 25-45% band.
Looked for, not found
Recorded rather than filled in. Each of these is a place where a number could have been invented and was not.
- The individual dollar values of eBay's three combined, unnamed equity-investment buckets in the Q2 2026 10-Q: 'other' non-marketable equity investments ($196 million at 30 Jun 2026), equity-method investments ($48 million), and fair-value-option investments measured at NAV per share ($55 million). No investee within any of these three buckets is named in the 10-Q or FY2025 10-K notes searched, so none can be sized individually or included as a holdings row.
- The absolute number of Aurelia Netherlands TopCo B.V. shares eBay holds, and Aurelia's total shares outstanding: eBay's filings disclose only the approximate 8.3% ownership percentage and the $474 million carrying value, not a share count for either eBay's stake or Aurelia's total capitalization (Aurelia is privately held following the 2024 Adevinta take-private).
- A dollar value as of 15 Apr 2026 for the two insider register rows (Jamie Iannone and the 18-person officer/director group): the proxy's beneficial ownership table gives share counts and a '<1%' label but not a dollar value, and no eBay share price as of that specific date was independently sourced.
- The 550,149-share gap between the sum of the 18 individually named rows in the proxy's beneficial ownership table (2,410,707 shares) and the table's own stated total for 'All current directors and executive officers as a group (18 persons)' (2,960,856 shares). Footnote (13) on the group row states it includes 6,157 RSUs and 1,780,277 options exercisable within 60 days, but this does not obviously reconcile to the gap; the proxy does not explain the discrepancy.
- Vanguard-affiliated 13F filers other than Vanguard Capital Management LLC and Vanguard Portfolio Management LLC (for example Vanguard Advisers Inc, Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Co) were not individually checked for EBAY holdings; if any hold EBAY shares, the true Vanguard aggregate is somewhat higher than the 50,495,801 shares used here.
- Whether any Schedule 13D or 13D/A filers (beyond the 13G-style passive index/institutional holders already covered) hold a strategic or activist stake in eBay was not separately searched; only the proxy's own 5% Owners table and the top institutional 13F filers were checked.
