SBAN participants met with Members of Congress to share their stories and explain how current ecommerce public policy issues affect their small businesses. At the end of the event we held our annual Seller Showcase Celebration, where each participant showcased their eBay store in front of hundreds of attendees, including Members of Congress, eBay executives and other public policy influencers.
eBay opposes any attempt to impose Internet sales tax collection burdens on small Internet-enabled businesses. Legislation should create a fair, workable solution and ensure that independent small businesses can continue to compete and grow.
eBay believes that global trade rules should be modernized to ensure small businesses can participate in technology-enabled global commerce.
