En 1973, la famille de Pierre Omidyar quitte Paris pour le Maryland aux États-Unis. Son père, docteur en physique obtient une chaire à Johns Hopkins University Medical Center. Féru d'informatique, Pierre Omidyar consacre beaucoup de temps à sa passion durant sa scolarité.
Diplôme d'informatique de l'université de Tuts, Pierre Omidyar rejoint en 1988 la société Claris, filiale d'Apple, avant de fonder en 1991, avec trois de ses amis, Eshop, une société internet dont une des activités est la vente en ligne.
Lorsque la société est vendue trois ans plus tard à Microsoft, Pierre Omidyar devient ingénieur pour le compte de General Magic, une plateforme de communication.
C'est à cette période que Pierre rencontre Pamela, sa petite amie. Elle lui fait part d'un hobby : collectionner les distributeurs de bonbons Pez. Pierre se propose de lui créer un espace sur son site perso pour qu'elle puisse les échanger. Il conçoit un programme simple pouvant être utilisé pour enchérir sur un produit. La fréquentation explose et le site devient rapidement le lieu d'échanges entre collectionneurs passionnés.
Très rapidement, le petit pourcentage que Pierre Omidyar prélève sur les transactions dépasse son salaire chez General Magic. Il décide alors de quitter son job pour lancer son commerce en ligne.
En 1997, Auction Web, un site de vente aux enchères est lancé. Le site est renommé eBay deux ans plus tard, en référence à la baie de San Francisco où il vit. La même année eBay affiche jusqu'à 800.000 enchères par jour et compte 1 million de membres.
En 1998, eBay fait une entrée en bourse très remarquée, les parts de Pierre Omidyar avoisinent les 3.milliards de dollars.
En 2003, eBay s'ouvre au marché chinois et indien, ses ventes se multiplient et atteignent plus de 2 milliards de dollars. A ce jour, eBay a plus de 95 millions d'utilisateurs inscrits.
2003, Pierre Omidyar a lancé un fond d'investissement "Omidyar Network" visant à aider le développement d'entreprises dans les pays pauvres, notamment via le microcrédit.
