Weakness in the core marketplaces segment will continue throughout most of 2009. The
weakness in the core marketplaces segment will generally be offset by growth in the payments EPS
and communications segment, but not enough to translate into EPS growth.

Rating System Definitions
Sturdivant & Co.’s stock ratings system reflects the investment decisions our clients face every day, and is meant to assist clients in making these decisions by recommending a
specific action to take with each stock we cover. All of the ratings correspond to a specific investment action that we recommend taking on the date the research is published. Thus,
“Outperform” (equivalent to “Buy”) ratings are reserved only for stocks that we would be actively buying at the time the research is published. “Marketperform” (equivalent to
“Hold”) ratings are reserved for stocks that we believe are in line with the market’s anticipated performance and we recommend holding. “Underperform” (equivalent to “Sell”)
ratings are assigned to stocks where the analyst anticipates stock price declines relative to the market. Please note also that the price expectations that determine the rating are in
absolute dollar terms, not in terms of relative performance to a sector or an index. Therefore, analysts will not use the “Outperform” rating for stocks that are expected to perform
well relative to their sector but only for stocks that are expected to appreciate in actual dollar returns.

Introduction to eBay

Founded in 1995, eBay and its subsidiaries provide online Marketplaces for the sale of goods and services, an
online Payments platform and an online Communications platform. Along with its three major segments,
(Marketplaces, Payments and Communications) eBay also operates marketing sites such as Rent.com,
Shopping.com, Stumbleupon.com and several classified sites.

eBay’s primary online marketplace is its auction site which, during of 3Q08, had 85.7 million active registered
users and over 700 million new listings. The products and services sold via eBay fill the entire spectrum of the
global economy. Auctions can be formatted in the traditional sense or with a fixed price. The fixed price auctions
contain a “buy it now” button which ends the auction at time of sale. The site also features Dutch auctions and
several bidding and listings tools for both buyers and sellers.

PayPal is the major portion of the Payments platform that also include BillMeLater.com. During 3Q08, the
payments segment of eBay had 65.3 million active registered accounts that enacted 214.5 million transactions that
exchanged approximately $14.8 billion dollars. PayPal has become the de facto standard for online payments
despite being it what is quickly becoming a crowded field.

eBay’s Communications segment is based around Skype, a Voice over internet protocol (VoIP) application that
allows users to place computer-to-computer calls as well as computer-to-cellular calls and computer-to-land line
calls. Video conference and chat tools are some of the features of Skype which, at the end of the 3Q08, had 370
million users.

eBay also runs several other sites that make up its marketing services revenue. These sites include the previously
mentioned Rent.com and Stumbleupon.com as well as Shopping.com and StubHub.com. eBay also operates
classified sites such as Kijiji.com. Marketing services account for nearly $1B of the $8.5B in annual revenues.

Industry Outlook

When looking at the industry for eBay, one must look at the four separate segments and their respective outlooks.
The marketing services segment touches the three major components of the company, but can be broken out
through the financial statements. Marketing services by itself relies heavily on advertising and fees for its
classified style websites. The macro environment has proven difficult for any business that relies on advertising as
budgets have been cut significantly.

The Marketplace segment, or the core


business of eBay is facing significant
challenges. Historically, eBay faced an
80/20 problem in that 80% of its traffic
were buyers, while only 20% of its visitors
were fee generating sellers. Its main
competitor, Amazon, has focused on the
buyers and lower prices. To further
compound problems, during 2007 eBay
instituted rate increases for sellers, which
caused many sellers to increase shipping
fees.

eBay slashed listing fees on 2/12/08 in an


effort to stem declining traffic, but the
traffic trends have not suggested that a
turnaround is near. Another concession Source: Alexa.com

initiated by eBay for multiple listings was also ineffective. Alexa.com reach data shows that Amazon (AMZN:
MU) has closed the gap in terms of traffic. Besides Amazon, competition also comes from sites like
Overstock.com (OSTK) and niche auction sites such as GothAuctions.com.

STURDIVANT & CO., INC.

The alternative payment industry has seen significant growth over the past several years. PayPal has become a
leader in the industry thanks to its broad adoption and early penetration of eBay customers. Despite the near term
negative outlook for the macro environment, we believe that alternative based payments will continue to grow.
Several well funded companies have launched competing services such as Checkout from Google and Amazon
Payments from Amazon. Numerous start-ups have also sprung up, notably Revolution Money which was founded
by Steve Case (founder of AOL).

While the success PayPal historically depended on the volume of merchandise traded via eBay, recent efforts to
expand beyond the auction market have insulated the division from the slowdown in auctions. Still highly
influenced by the traffic and gross merchandise value traded at eBay, PayPal looks to maintain vigorous growth
over the next several quarters.

In the coming year, we anticipate more of a focus on the mobile payment platform. In the same manner that
numerous applications have been developed for the iPhone or smartphones, we expect PayPal to develop
something similar for mobile payments.

In the Communications segment, the competition is simply vast. With over 370 million registered users, we
believe Skype is on the verge of an explosive growth in usage. The provider of VoIP services has a built-in base
that dwarfs any cellular carrier but has seen little in the way of revenue. Skype will likely benefit from the near
term weakness in the macro environment in that consumers will look for inexpensive and free services to supplant
services that carry high monthly fees.

Other macro factors that will boost Skype usage include the impending build out of Wi-Max services. Baltimore is
scheduled to launch a service soon, and several US cities will follow throughout the year. The high customer costs
for Wi-Max service will make a portable Skype phone an attractive benefit of the service. The inclusion of Wi-Fi
features on smartphones also points to opportunity for Skype.

Despite the large number of users Skype and many of its VoIP brethren have, failed to monetize subscribers to a
significant degree. We believe 2009 will be more of the same with full scale adoption and increased monetization
still likely to be more than a year away.

Competitive Landscape

eBay competes against a large number of companies in many different sectors. With payments and marketplaces
being more intertwined than communications, there is no perfect comparison. Certain companies fall into multiple
categories, but are focused on areas outside of the marketplaces that eBay is in.

The marketplaces segment faces direct competition from Amazon and Overstock.com. Amazon, with its focus on
being a new product retailer also competes in the used product market that has proven to be a thorn in the side of
eBay. The fixed price model and focus on the buyer has helped Amazon gain market share from eBay. Buyers
may search for a product at both eBay and Amazon, but will know the exact price at the Amazon site. This works
better for more common items, but not as well for more unique items that are better served with an auction.
Selling on Amazon is different from eBay in that large sellers pay a monthly fee, and a referral fee which is a
percentage of the total sale. Some items (books, videos, music and software) also carry a small per item closing
fee. The lack of a listing fee allows for larger inventories to be listed and removes timing risk. In essence,
Amazon offers an “online shelf” and eBay offers a limited sale time. Viewed another way, Amazon sets a defined
profit percentage, while eBay gives the opportunity for significant upside or a potential loss if the item is not sold.

Another competitor in the Marketplaces segment is Overstock.com (OSTK). As a direct competitor they allow
individuals to list items for sale, but more than that they are seen as the preferred platform for liquidators. Most of
the items on Overstock are refurbished or discontinued merchandise which narrows its addressable market. We do
not view Overstock as a significant competitive threat to the business model for eBay. It is, however, competitive
in the area of large scale liquidations (an area that gives some pricing power to the merchandiser rather than the
liquidator).

STURDIVANT & CO., INC.

PayPal and the Payments platform competes against numerous companies. Amazon Payments is the payment
technology for the e-tailer and technology services provider. Amazon Payments re-launched in July 2008, a signal
that its momentum is improving as traffic continues to trend higher for Amazon. We believe that retailers,
especially large retailers, will balk at this offering as has Toys’R’Us and Borders, who believed that Amazon used
the data they gathered in operating their online stores to better compete with them. This is a fundamental
advantage that PayPal has over Amazon Payments.

Google Checkout is also a direct competitor but has seen little acceptance outside of online companies. Blue Nile
(NILE ) was an early adopter of Google Checkout when a $10 per order subsidy was offered. Since that time, we
have heard little else about Google Checkout.

Any discussion of PayPal’s competitors must address the threat from MasterCard and Visa, the de facto standard
for payments for several decades. We believe that other platforms will continue to eat into the overall market
share of the major credit card companies. There are a number of factors that point to the growth of alternative
payment solutions, the least of which being the recent credit crisis. We believe that the credit card companies are
facing significant pressure from the overall economic environment. We believe PayPal is likely to gain share from
MasterCard and Visa during this economic downturn.

PayPal also faces challenges from startups like Revolution Money, which is back by AOL co-founder, Steve Case.
Although Revolution Money competes more directly with credit cards, it does show the need for alternative
payment solutions beyond MasterCard and Visa.

The Communications platform, which is anchored by Skype, faces competition from numerous companies. With
direct competition coming from any VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) provider, Skype competes with Google,
Yahoo, Microsoft, AOL, and Vonage to name a few. Other telecommunications companies like AT&T and
Verizon could also be considered indirect competition. Most instant messenger platforms now allow for voice
communication, so they could be considered direct competition with Skype. What Skype has that many of its
competitors don’t is a massive user base of approximately 370 million registered users.

Risks

We believe that there are some inherent risks that all technology companies face and they include, but are not
limited to, the loss of high caliber human capital and inability to adapt to changes in the business environment.

• eBay also faces other significant risks like increasing competition. Amazon and Google are their main
competitors and they are both well funded and have high quality management teams.

• A pricing war with Amazon and or Overstock could negatively impact earnings, as traffic patterns have
already shown .

• The macro economic slowdown has already had a negative impact on eBay. Should it continue we
believe that consumers will have less disposable funds available for purchasing merchandise on eBay. A
lack of buyers could force sellers to look for other platforms to sell their merchandise.
• eBay continues to face integration risks associated with its acquisition of Skype. If eBay is unsuccessful
in integrating Skype, eBay may fail to realize the projected synergistic benefits of the acquisition. This
could limit eBay’s ability to make future acquisitions..
• The company needs to carefully manage its future changes in pricing, products and policies. The recent
changes to the buyer/seller feedback features also need to be carefully managed.

• Other risks can be found in the 10-K

Earnings Analysis

eBay has a stellar record when it comes to managing Wall Street expectations. Over the last several quarters, eBay
has beaten both the top and bottom lines. We believe the current macro environment will provide significant
challenges to management. Despite a 10% reduction in workforce that ended in 3Q08, we believe that the
company will have trouble beating the consensus estimate by more than a penny per share. Our estimate for 4Q08
is $0.40, one penny higher than the consensus estimate of $0.39.

Valuation

Valuation of a conglomerate is an inexact science, and while eBay is not a conglomerate it does exhibit some of
the same characteristics. With growth rates turning negative in the Marketplace segment, and Payments &
Communications segments still in significant growth modes, a sum of the parts valuation looks to be the best way
to value the company.

We recognize that while the core Marketplace segment has seen less growth, it is still an essential piece to the
overall puzzle. PayPal still draws a significant amount of business from the eBay Marketplaces. Thus, a divesture
would not be beneficial to the company or shareholders. The cross-use of PayPal and the core eBay Marketplaces
has been steadily improving and integration of accounts remains a priority. The same cross-use of Skype and
PayPal was a primary factor in eBay’s decision to buy the Communications hub. That said, the full integration of
all three applications has not been as successful to date.

Over the last several years, margins have declined. This decline has taken its toll on its multiples, namely its price
to earnings multiple. As the chart show, the average P/E multiple has been dropping along with the company’s
margins. We believe that this trend is at an end due mainly to the steady earnings that the company will report in
2008-2009.

Source: Capital IQ, Sturdivant & Co Research

We believe that a multiple of 8.3x 2009 earnings is where the market will keep eBay until there is a significant
change in the trend for margins. Margin expansion will undoubtedly lead to multiple expansion seeing as the stock
has been trading near its all time lows.
Segment Analysis

The macro environment has exacerbated the difficulties of the Marketplaces division. We estimate that revenues
from the Marketplaces division will drop sequentially through 3Q09. A rebound of the economy in the second half
of the of 2009 may not be seen in the Marketplaces division until late the third quarter. We do, however, anticipate
a strong 4Q09.

We believe the Payments segment will see a shorter downturn than the Marketplaces segment. 3Q08 saw a 1%
sequential decline in revenue, and accordingly, we expect this trend to stretch through 1Q09. Our estimates call
for a faster rebound for the Payments segment, with minimal growth anticipated in 2Q09 and more robust growth
in the second half of the year.

Communications has been immune to the revenue downturns that the two other segments have experienced. Due
in part to its small relative size, its small growth rate is anticipated to continue unabated. This growth amidst the
downturn prove the importance of the Skype to the company. That said, growth from this segment needs to reach
double digits in 2010.

Cash and Liquidity

eBay ended 2008 with $3.2B in cash and equivalents, and $1B in borrowings from its credit facility. The increase
in debt is due to the financing of the BillMeLater acquisition which was completed in the quarter. Due to the
acquisition, the company halted all stock repurchases in the quarter. We expect the company to continue its
repurchase of stock following the restricted period after an earnings announcement.

The company generated $684M of operating cash flow and $525M in free cash flow in 4Q08. For the full year,
operating cash flow was $2.88B and free cash flow came in a $2.32B.

Conclusion

Our view of eBay is founded on a few key factors. First we believe that the Payments platform is stronger than the
Marketplaces platform and should hold up better during this macro economic downturn. The Marketplaces
segment will continue to see negative sequential growth through the end of 3Q09, turning positive in 4Q09.
Finally, the communications segment should continue its global growth despite the challenging economic
environment.

Pressure on margins over the last few years has pushed eBay to record lows. Despite the low valuation, we do not
see any reason for the stock to trade much higher than its current levels until earnings improve in late 2009. We
rate eBay a market perform stock and initiate a price target of $13, which is equivalent to 8.8x our 2009 earnings
estimate.

Businessman’s Approach to Value Philosophy

Sturdivant & Co. uses the businessman’s approach to evaluating stocks. This philosophy is predicated on looking at a
company as a prudent man would were he to consider making a reasoned investment in a business. We focus on a
company’s strategy, the competitive position a company has versus its peers, quality of management, risk factors,
prospects for growth, as well as critical catalysts and milestones as evidence of progress. Finally, we look at a
company’s valuation to determine where we feel the stock is priced attractively.
