EBay Inc. said Tuesday that it has appointed Logan Green, co-founder and CEO of ride-hailing company Lyft, to a new seat on its board of directors.

EBay, based in San Jose, Calif., increased the size of the board to 12 from 11 seats, with Mr. Green filling the new opening effective immediately.

EBay, which celebrated its 20th anniversary last year, presents a sharply different profile from its larger Seattle rival, Amazon.com Inc. While it has tried for years to shed its reputation as a repository for one-off items, eBay has had only mixed success in persuading brands to sell their new goods on the site.

Ebay spun off payment service PayPal last year.
