Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including but not limited to those related to transaction losses, legal contingencies, income taxes, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, investments, including Level 3 investments, warrants and the recoverability of goodwill. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are consolidated and include the financial statements of eBay Inc. and our wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. A qualitative approach is applied to assess the consolidation requirement for variable interest entities. Generally, investments in entities where we hold at least a 20% ownership interest and have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, including those in which the fair value option has been elected.

For equity method investments, our share of the investees’ results of operations is included in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrants, net” and investment balances are included in “Long-term investments.” For equity method investments under the fair value option, the change in fair value of the investment is included in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrants, net” and investment balances are included in “Long-term investments.” Investments in entities where we hold less than a 20% ownership interest are generally accounted for as equity investments to be measured at fair value, under an election, or at cost if it does not have readily determinable fair value, in which case the carrying value would be adjusted upon the occurrence of an observable price change in an orderly transaction for identical or similar instruments or impairment. For investments in entities where we hold less than a 20% ownership interest, the change in fair value of, or any impairment related to, the investment is included in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrants, net” and investment balances are included in “Long-term investments.”

These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”). We have evaluated all subsequent events through the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for the fair statement of the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for these interim periods.
Internal use software costs
Internal use software costs
Platform development costs, including direct labor and stock-based compensation, are capitalized when (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the project and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform its intended function. Costs incurred prior to meeting these criteria are expensed as incurred. Due to the iterative and agile nature of the Company’s product development processes, the Company has determined that significant development uncertainty generally persists until the software is deployed, or within a short period prior to deployment.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07—Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The guidance is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, enabling investors to better understand an entity’s overall performance and assess potential future cash flows. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2024 with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-08—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets. The guidance addresses the accounting and disclosure requirements for certain crypto assets and requires entities to subsequently measure certain crypto assets at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income in each reporting period. In addition, entities are required to provide additional disclosures about the holdings of certain crypto assets. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2025 with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09—Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The guidance is intended to further standardize income tax disclosures primarily related to the presentation of the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information on our financial statements and disclosures. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We adopted this guidance prospectively in the fourth quarter of 2025 with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The guidance is intended to improve certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of internally developed software costs specific to website development. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. We have elected to early adopt the standard effective January 1, 2026, using the retrospective transition method, which required us to recast each prior reporting period presented consistent with the new standard.
The most significant impact of the standard relates to the capitalization of product development cost for our Marketplace platforms. Under the new standard, due to the iterative and agile nature of our product development, we have determined that significant development uncertainty generally persists until the software is deployed, or within a short period prior to deployment. Consequently, we expect substantially all product development costs related to the Company’s Marketplace platforms would be expensed as the probable-to-complete threshold would not have been met.

Adoption of the standard using the retrospective method impacted our previously reported results as follows (in millions, except per share data):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03—Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The guidance is intended to improve disclosures about expenses and address requests from investors for more transparent expense information through disaggregation of relevant expense captions in the notes to the financial statements. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are evaluating the effect that this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07—Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract. The guidance refines the scope of the guidance on derivatives in ASC 815 (Issue 1) and clarifies the guidance on share-based payments from a customer in ASC 606 (Issue 2) and is intended to address concerns about the application of derivative accounting to contracts that have features based on the operations or activities of one of the parties to the contract and to reduce diversity in the accounting for share-based payments in revenue contracts. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. We are evaluating the effect that this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09—Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements. The guidance is intended to more closely align hedge accounting with the economics of risk management activities. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. We are evaluating the effect that this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11—Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. The guidance is intended to improve the navigability of the guidance in ASC 270 and clarify when it applies. The guidance also adds lists to ASC 270 of the interim disclosures required by all other Codification topics and establishes a principle under which an entity must disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In 2026, the FASB issued ASU 2026-02—Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations (Topic 818). The guidance introduces a comprehensive model that establishes recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements for environmental credits and, when applicable, compliance obligations that may be settled by using environmental credits. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
