Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed October 31, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
eBay Inc. (EBAY) has filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to clarify a statement made by its CEO, Jamie Iannone, during a Fox Business interview on October 30, 2025.
Mr. Iannone inadvertently stated that the company's Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) guidance of 4%a-6% was for "next year" when he intended to refer to "next quarter."

Investors should note that this 8-K is not intended to affirm or update the company's financial guidance. It is purely a clarification of a misstatement.
The Q4 2025 GMV guidance range of 4%b-6% remains as previously communicated. This filing is made under Regulation FD disclosure and is not deemed "filed" for Section 18 of the Exchange Act.
