Michael Barrett, Chief Information Security Officer for PayPal Inc., testified yesterday morning before the House Science, Space and Technology Committee on what the eBay Inc. family is doing to protect our users from the growing cybersecurity challenges that are facing Internet-enabled companies, both large and small.  eBay Inc. recognizes that our success and the success of our retail partners are dependent on our ability to engender consumer trust and confidence.

Internet sales tax is on the forefront of everyone’s mind these days, especially with the recent introduction of the Main Street Fairness Act before Congress on Feb. 15. While Internet sales tax legislation could likely harm small online retailers in the future, many retailers are now focusing on filing their business’s taxes as the April 15 deadline approaches. To avoid overpaying in taxes, eBay has created a tax center that will help small businesses owners to keep as much of their hard-earned money as possible.
