What is the main purpose of this 8-K filing?

What are non-GAAP financial measures, and why are they included?

Non-GAAP financial measures are financial metrics that exclude certain items from GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) calculations. eBay includes them to provide what management believes is a more useful view of the company's ongoing operational performance, but they are not a substitute for GAAP measures and are reconciled in the press release.

Where can I find more detailed information about eBay's financial performance and risks?

Investors are directed to review the "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" sections in eBay's most recent annual report on Form 10-K and any subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for a more thorough discussion of factors that may affect the company's actual results.

Does eBay guarantee the accuracy of the forward-looking statements?

No, eBay explicitly states that undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements, as they are based on information available on the date of the filing and the company assumes no obligation to update them.
