Activist investor Carl Icahns stake in e-commerce company eBay Inc is more than previously reported at close to 2 percent, a source familiar with the matter said on Thursday. EBay said this week that Icahn had taken a 0.82 percent interest in the company earlier this month and made a non-binding proposal for eBay to spin off its PayPal payments business. EBay has a market capitalization of about $70 billion. Representatives for both EBay and Icahn did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the size of Icahns stake.
