To sign "eBay," you will simply fingerspell the letters E-B-A-Y. Start by holding your dominant hand comfortably in front of your shoulder with your palm facing outward toward the person you are signing to. Smoothly transition through the standard ASL handshapes for the letters E, B, A, and Y. Keep your hand steady in one location and maintain a consistent pace as you spell the word to ensure it is clear and easy to read.
