A properly licensed and reproducible 24- or 36-month issuer market-cap history is not stored, so market-cap methods are not estimated from a current spot price.
Business-activity disclosure
eBay operates an online marketplace and advertising platform. Marketplace facilitation is generally permissible, but third-party listings, payments and consumer-financing products create qualitative questions not quantified in the filing.
Limitation: The filing does not provide a reproducible prohibited-revenue numerator for third-party product categories, credit products or other scholar-specific activity categories.
Purification
The filing separately reports interest income at 1.88% of quarterly revenue, but ZakatInvest does not prescribe a fixed scholar-approved purification percentage and marketplace activity remains incomplete.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Debt combines $750 million of short-term/current debt with $5,994 million of long-term debt.
- Interest-bearing securities use $2,210 million of available-for-sale debt securities, including $966 million maturing within one year; customer accounts and restricted cash are excluded from unrestricted cash.
- Customer accounts and funds receivable are $1,490 million and quarterly net revenue is $3,089 million.
- The filing separately reports $58 million of interest income, or 1.88% of quarterly revenue; other income is excluded from this company-income proxy.
This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
