ANDALE AND EBAY SIGN EXCLUSIVE AGREEMENT

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIF., – Sept. 13, 2000 – Andale, Inc. (app.vendio.com), the leading provider of auction management tools and services for online sellers, and eBay Inc. (NASDAQ: EBAY; www.ebay.com), the world's largest personal trading community, today announced that they have signed an exclusive agreement making Andale the sole provider of integrated counters and counter-related services to eBay sellers directly from the eBay marketplace and accessible right from the listing process. Counters are the most utilized value-added tool by auction sellers, next to image hosting, and are the sellers' gateway to auction management. This agreement kicks off a three-year eBay and Andale exclusive relationship where the companies will work together to empower auction sellers with counters and counter-related services that will help eBay sellers enhance their listings.

Under the terms of the agreement, eBay sellers will have the option to add Andale's Honesty-brand of counters free of charge directly from the eBay "Sell Your Item" page – a page that sellers use when they create a "listing" on eBay. Andale's Honesty Counters are the best in the industry because they track every unique buyer who visits a particular listing or ad along with several other statistics that help sellers best time the placement of future listings. All sellers who list merchandise on a weekly basis will now be able to conveniently add counters to their listings and easily manage the activity of those listings on eBay.

"eBay is committed to meeting the needs of our users and helping our sellers increase their potential for success," said Jeff Jordan, senior vice president of eBay U.S. "We believe that integrating Andale's Honesty Counters into eBay's Sell Your Item page will make it easier for eBay sellers to include counters in their listings and track the activity of those listings."

Andale will also host a co-branded website, directly integrated with and accessible from several areas throughout the eBay marketplace, where sellers can view their counter statistics and monitor their auction activity.

"With 600,000 businesses using Andale services who are responsible for almost 31 percent of all eBay auctions – or approximately one out of every three listings – the company is the largest provider of auction management services in the industry and a natural choice for eBay," said Munjal Shah, CEO of Andale. "We are extremely pleased to have the opportunity to work with eBay to make our Honesty Counter services available to all eBay sellers."

"Andale is a leading provider of value-added services to sellers using online marketplaces. Making the Honesty Counter services more available to eBay sellers will enhance their merchandising capabilities," said Vernon Keenan, Internet analyst at Keenan Vision, Inc. "With this deal, eBay enhances their e-merchant services, and Andale gains premier access to the busiest online marketplace." Keenan Vision research predicts that the market of value-added services for dynamic marketplaces, like those provided by Andale, will be a $110 billion dollar market by 2004.
