Ebay is often touted as her success credentials, but I really see it as another failure. There was no Amazon when Ebay was big. They could have BEEN Amazon.
Also she bought Skype, but forgot to check that the IP was actually included in the purchase.
I am honestly astonished she is seen in an even minimally positive light these days.
- webel0 6y agoWow, I wasn’t aware of the Skype IP battle [1]. In that case EBay licensed the underlying IP from the founders. It is especially interesting in the context of quibi because it appears that most of their content deals allowed the content creators to own the underlying content but require a 2 year exclusive license to the service.
