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.
U.S. of eBay Advocacy Day
What We Did in D.C.
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.
Internet Sales Tax
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.
Trade
eBay believes that global trade rules should be modernized to ensure small businesses can participate in technology-enabled global commerce.

“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.”
