With Thanksgiving upon us and the holidays right around the corner, it is the perfect time of year to give thanks to everyone who made this yet another successful year.  The eBay Inc. government relations team would like to thank our customers, who are the backbone of eBay Inc.’s continual success. 

We particularly want to thank our eBay Main Street members.  With the Marketplace Fairness Act passing quickly in the Senate back in May, our members swiftly leapt into action to educate their legislators on the burdens and ramifications the bill would have on our small businesses across the nation.  Thanks to your continued voices of support, the Marketplace Fairness Act was halted in the House of Representatives.   Going forward the voice of our eBay Inc. Main Street members will be important in shaping public policy issues such as cross border trade, postal reform, payments, ticket regulation and much more.
