Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Event	Subsequent Event Subsequent to March 31, 2017, we received an ownership interest in Flipkart in exchange for our eBay.in business and a $500 million cash investment. We signed the definitive agreement to sell our marketplaces business in India on April 10, 2017 and we expect to close this transaction, subject to customary closing conditions, in the second half of 2017. We are unable to estimate the financial statement impact of the sale at this time.
