eBay CEO: Supersmart AI will even help you sell that $5 pen

Devin Wenig, here at eBay's Manhattan offices, joined the company in 2011 and became CEO in 2015. Devin Wenig buys his garbage bags, shampoo and even toothpaste on eBay. That's not typical for your regular eBay customer, who may visit for a car, cardigan or collectible coin. But as eBay's CEO, the 50-year-old Wenig likes to buy as much as he can from the site, now the world's third-largest e-retailer after Amazon and Alibaba. Wenig, who took over at eBay in mid-2015 after the company split with PayPal, met with CNET at his firm's Manhattan office last week during a snowstorm.
