Bomb Scare At EBay Campus

A bomb scare at eBay's San Jose, Calif. corporate campus Wednesday morning turned out to be a false alarm, but not before 200 employees were evacuated from their building.

The San Jose Police Department Bomb Detail determined that a suspicious package delivered to the mailroom at eBay's Hamilton Avenue premises was harmless, a spokesperson for the online auction house said.

Employees were evacuated when the package was discovered at about 8.55 on Monday morning. Police declared the building safe at about 12:30 p.m. and affected areas had been reopened by mid-afternoon, the spokesperson said.

Ebay and its PayPal and Skype properties occupy nine buildings on a sprawling San Jose campus that houses some 2,500 employees.

The spokesperson said eBay, PayPal and Skype services "remain unaffected" by the incident.

The incident occurred a little over a year after an actual bomb exploded at eBay's PayPal headquarters. The Oct. 31, 2006 bombing outside PayPal's network operation center remains unsolved.

San Jose police were contacted for this story, but had not returned several calls at press time.
