Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

On April 27, 2005, eBay Inc. announced that Edward W. Barnholt had been elected as a new member of eBay's Board of Directors. A copy of eBay's press release announcing Mr. Barnholt's election is attached as an exhibit to this filing.

Mr. Barnholt fills a vacancy created by an increase in the size of the Board of Directors from nine to ten. eBay's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide for its Board of Directors to be divided into three classes, with each class having a three-year term. Mr. Barnholt will be a member of the first class of directors, with a term of office expiring at eBay's upcoming annual meeting of stockholders to be held on June 23, 2005, and will stand for election along with the other members of the first class of directors, Fred D. Anderson, Scott D. Cook, and Robert C. Kagle, at the annual meeting. Mr. Barnholt has not yet been named to any Committee of eBay's Board of Directors. eBay expects that its Board of Directors will consider Mr. Barnholt's Committee assignment at the Board of Directors meeting to be held on June 23, 2005.
