Was eBay started by a poor college student like a lot of other multi billion dollar internet companies these days?

Or was it started by an actual corporation with a good business plan?

If it was started by a college student, I am suprised that they made it through their begining stages without a large corporation stealing their idea and using their power and money for better marketing and attention.

I don't think eBay would have needed as much backend and programming as something like Yahoo or Google at that time
