Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segments Segments

In the first quarter of 2019, we announced several organizational changes, including bringing our Marketplace geographic regions together under one global leadership team. We changed from one reportable segment to three reportable segments to reflect the way management and our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) review and assess performance of the business. Our three reportable segments are Marketplace, StubHub and Classifieds. Marketplace includes our online marketplace located at www.ebay.com, its localized counterparts and the eBay suite of mobile apps. StubHub includes our online ticket platform located at www.stubhub.com, its localized counterparts and the StubHub mobile apps. Classifieds includes a collection of brands such as mobile.de, Kijiji, Gumtree, Marktplaats, eBay Kleinanzeigen and others. The accounting policies of our segments are the same as those described in “Note 1 – The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”. Prior period segment information has been reclassified to conform to the current period segment presentation.

Our reportable segments reflect the way management and our CODM review and assess performance of the business. Our CODM reviews revenue and operating income (loss) for each reportable segment. Our CODM does not evaluate reportable segments using asset information. Corporate and other costs includes: (i) corporate management costs, such as human resources, finance and legal, that are not allocated to our segments; (ii) amortization of intangible assets; (iii) restructuring charges; (iv) stock-based compensation; and (v) results of operations of various initiatives that support all of our reportable segments.

Segment net revenue and operating income for the years ended 2019, 2018 and 2017 were as follows (in millions):

Net revenues, inclusive of the effects of foreign exchange during each period, are attributed to U.S. and international geographies primarily based upon the country in which the seller, platform that displays advertising, other service provider, or customer, as the case may be, is located. Long-lived assets attributed to the U.S. and international geographies are based upon the country in which the asset is located or owned. Depreciation and amortization expense was primarily recorded in the Marketplace segment.
