This week, the eBay Government Relations Team hosted California Assemblymembers Vince Fong (R-Bakersfield) and Josh Hoover (R-Folsom) at eBay headquarters in San Jose.  The Assemblymembers visited as part of a tour they are doing through Silicon Valley to meet with various stakeholders.  We had a very productive discussion with them on policy issues affecting online marketplaces and how eBay can continue to engage with state policymakers.  The Assemblymembers also shared their thoughts on state priorities regarding technology including privacy, organized retail crime and consumer protection.  We sincerely appreciate the Assemblymembers reaching out to stakeholders to engage on these important topics and thank them for their leadership in the legislature and time spent with us at eBay.
