One of the fastest growing firms in the history of business. (Ok, so Google eclipsed it, but who else?)
eBay itself has a phenomenal business model. While eBay has natural limits to the size of the opportunity for its core business, it has continued to grow through acquisitions and global expansion.
eBay has gone through many phases as it evolved into a global powerhouse in commerce and payments. There are multiple cultures within eBay Inc. that don't always work together well. Some employees are able to have careers that span both cultures (eBay and PayPal), but that is the exception rather than the norm.
Advice: Find the culture that fits you best and don't look back. If you are lucky enough to feel equally comfortable in both, then you are doubly fortunate.
Merge with Amazon when the timing is right. Amazon = new, eBay = used, and PayPal would become the universal payment king! Game over for "Big Box" retailers, and even Walmart would be scared.
