Music video
The song "eBay" was actually performed live at eBay Live! 2003. A portion of this performance can be seen at the beginning of the CNBC documentary The eBay Effect: Inside a Worldwide Obsession.[4] Though no official video was produced, it has inspired the creation of numerous user-generated videos, usually featuring slides of the items mentioned.
