And he explores the ever-widening array of enlistees in the eBay revolution, from a stay-at-home mom who had to rent a warehouse for her thriving business selling bubble-wrap on eBay to the young MBA who started eBay Motors (which within months of its launch was on track to sell $1 billion in cars a year), to collectors nervously bidding thousands of dollars on antique clothing-irons. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Adam Cohen's fascinating look inside eBay is essential reading for anyone trying to figure out what's next.
