U.S. of eBay Advocacy Day

U.S. of eBay Advocacy Day

Each year top SBAN members are invited to Washington, D.C. where they join eBay executives to meet with lawmakers on Capitol Hill and discuss public policy issues affecting small businesses.

What We Do in D.C.

At least once a year (with a break during the COVID-19 pandemic) select SBAN members are chosen to meet with eBay executives and Members of Congress to share their stories and explain how current ecommerce public policy issues affect their small businesses. In addition to direct contact with eBay leaders and federal legislators, these events are also an opportunity for participants to meet with their fellow sellers and take in the sites of Washington, D.C.

“There will always be a special place in my heart for eBay. If it wasn't for eBay, our lives would look totally different. It's what jumpstarted our business.”

"eBay is the core of our business. It has allowed us to grow into what we are today. We wouldn't be able to have the same reach without eBay.”
