Last week's trivia answer
Born in 1995, today I'm "The World's Online Marketplace." In fiscal 2007 I sported nearly $60 billion in gross merchandise sales and welcomed tens of millions of shoppers. My online payment subsidiary PayPal generates nearly $2 billion yearly. My other units include Internet communications company Skype, the price-comparison site Shopping.com, online classified specialist Kijiji.com, and the apartment-listing service Rent.com. I've sold more than 3 million cars and sell one every 56 seconds. Via my StubHub unit, I've sold more than 10 million tickets. (I sell a pair of shoes and a cell phone every seven seconds.) Who am I?
( Answer: eBay )
