SAN JOSE, Calif., June 9, 2010 - eBay Inc. (Nasdaq:EBAY) today announced the recipients of the 2010 Star Developer Awards, recognizing third-party developers who have driven innovative solutions that help streamline the selling process on eBay.
The Star Developer Awards are presented annually to recognize the talent and solutions of members of the eBay Developers Program. The eBay Developers Program, established in 2000, is a community of more than 112,000 developers who utilize the program's standards-based, easy-to-use development platform. These third-party developers have access to the eBay marketplace, enabling them to seamlessly integrate their ideas and e-commerce tools.
Many of the winners take advantage of Open eBay, the company's platform that allows developers to integrate applications directly in the eBay.com interface where U.S. sellers can subscribe to and use them.
"eBay's developer community continues to create innovative applications on the eBay platform that help improve the experience for buyers and margins for sellers, while driving profitability for themselves," said Sri Shivananda, senior director of eBay's developer program. "The eBay Star Developer Award winners have built powerful applications that bring new ways of doing business to the eBay marketplace."
