Over the five-year period, eBay’s revenue remained relatively stable, with values oscillating between approximately USD 9.8 billion and USD 10.4 billion. The highest revenue was recorded in 2021 at USD 10,420 million, followed by a noticeable dip in 2022 to USD 9,795 million before rebounding to over USD 10,000 million in the following years. Gross profit trends were similar, showing a peak near USD 7,800 million in 2020–2021, then a decline to USD 7,115 million in 2022, with a slow recovery reaching USD 7,403 million in 2024. These trends suggest that while the core business maintained its top-line performance, margins may have been under pressure during 2022 possibly due to pricing, cost structure adjustments, or changes in the mix of sales. Notably, operating income and net income exhibited more pronounced fluctuations. Operating income peaked at USD 2,923 million in 2021 but fell significantly by over 20% in 2022 to USD 2,350 million and further declined to USD 1,941 million in 2023, before a modest recovery in 2024. The most significant swing was seen in net income: from USD 5,667 million in 2020 to a remarkable USD 13,608 million in 2021—a jump well above a 100% increase—followed by a dramatic reversal into a loss of USD 1,269 million in 2022. Although net income recovered in the subsequent years, the volatility reflects underlying operational or non-operational factors affecting profitability. Overall, while eBay’s revenue and gross profit indicate resilience, the significant variability in income measures highlights challenges in converting sales into stable bottom-line performance. This mixed performance suggests cautious optimism about the company’s long-term sustainability amid evolving market and operational dynamics.
