What year did Ebay canada start. Not the US site. Ebay Canada?

eBay Canada started in 2000 and celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2010.

 

Until then Canadians were registered on eBay.com

 

Until 2002 they could register on either site

 

From 2002 (or 2003) Canadians can only register on eBay.ca (later on eBay.cafr when the French version was created)

 

All Canadians, like all international users, can use eBay.com or any other eBay sites to buy or sell, regardless where registered.

 

Since you registered in 1999, you registered on eBay.com and are considered a "legacy user".

The Internet way back time machine has the first recorded page of eBay.ca as November 9, 2000. This may not be the day eBay.ca opened but just the first day eBay.ca was looked at and the web page copied.

 

Here is the link to eBay.ca in year 2000. The web page is partially functional so you can browse some sections. You can also look at some other dates from 2000 on.
