San Jose, CA -- (July 1, 2002) -- eBay Inc.® (NASDAQ: EBAY), announced that it will offer access to office space for rent within its real estate marketplace through an agreement with Regus, the leading global operator of business centres.
Business owners can now easily find and secure the right amount of office space perfectly suited for their needs – even single workstations are available. All office space offered by Regus within the marketplace will be featured in ad format rather than as auction-style items and can be found at www.ebayrealestate.com.

Within eBay’s real estate marketplace, Regus provides cost-effective office space with flexible lease terms, allowing companies to secure office space when they need for as long as they need it. Each Regus location features a mix of workstations, meeting/conference rooms, Cyber Café and common areas. All offices feature high-tech communications systems, Internet access and complete IT support. There is no up front capital requirement, and some office space can be had for as little as $8 a day.
“With just a few quick clicks on eBay, users can select office space virtually anywhere in the world,” said Andrea Iavarone, marketing director, Regus. “Regus’ established infrastructure, coupled with our global buying power results in significant cost savings for our clients.
