EBay, as the legend goes, became a billion-dollar global powerhouse after beginning its
life as a place where Pierre Omidyar's wife could sell and buy Pez dispensers. It's a
great story. And, as you no doubt know by now, it's not true. It was the fabrication of
a public relations whiz who won an award for spreading the story. But is there really
any harm in bending the truth into a good yarn, especially if it's the kind of
rags-to-riches success story everyone wants to hear?
