Memories from eBay and Community's Incredible Journey

One of the most visited places on the Solutions Center floor has been the "eBay's Incredible Journey" booth. When eBay Live! 2005 began, this booth started out as three blank wall panels showing key milestones for each year since 1995. Today, they are covered with thousands of hand-written comments from members sharing their memories about eBay and wishing it a Happy 10th Anniversary.

The comments, ranging from emotional to funny, tell moving personal stories of what eBay means to people and how their lives have changed  after discovering the site.

It's an incredible record of the collective journey of eBay and the Community over the last ten years - a testament to the Power of All of Us.

A few members also recorded their impressions on video.
