Meg Whitman Strong Quotations

We are excited to start 1999 with strong first-quarter results and positive growth across all metrics,

The third quarter was another very strong quarter of accomplishments and financial results. We are extremely pleased with eBay's current market position and momentum, in terms of user growth, activities and profit.

This past quarter, we continued our efforts to bring a wider audience to eBay through a variety of marketing endeavors including online and traditional advertising, grassroots marketing, public relations and strong word of mouth referrals.

We saw very strong growth across every part of our business, ... It's wonderful to see such strength in our two largest marketplaces, the U.S. and Germany.

We saw very strong growth across every part of our business in Q3.
