About Our Members

Small Business Ambassador Network members are a diverse community of sellers representing different product categories and business models who advocate for sound ecommerce public policy on behalf of all small businesses.

Chad White, Class-Tech-Cars

Timberville, Virgina, US

Chad White describes Class-Tech-Cars as a small business that does big things. His entrepreneurial spirit, along with his longtime expertise in car parts, led to Chad starting his own business. The eBay platform allows Chad to sell to a worldwide customer base. He noted, “If I had to rely on local sales, my business wouldn’t exist.”

 

SBAN Advocacy Leadership Award

Every year, the eBay Government Relations team honors one member of the Small Business Ambassador Network with our Advocacy Leadership Award. The award is intended to honor a SBAN member who has shown exceptional commitment and dedication to working with our team on issues that affect technology-enabled small and medium sized businesses.

2023 Winner

Joy Woodruff, eCommerce Manager, Sound of Tri-State

Claymont, DE & Morton, PA

Joy Woodruff joined Sound of Tri-State in 1994 while working part-time with her parents selling merchandise on eBay. In 1999 Sound of Tri-State asked Joy to use her eBay experience to list some of their products on the platform. From that moment their online presence grew quickly as they continued to sell more and more products online. Joy and Sound of Tri-State are also actively involved in a number of philanthropic activities locally and globally, including GivingWorks, an eBay program through which buyers can donate to Sound of Tri-State’s charity of choice at checkout. Joy is also a very active member of eBay’s seller advocacy community and our Small Business Ambassador Network program. Joy has participated in many eBay advocacy opportunities, representing eBay at our Advocacy Days in Washington, DC, joining our digital advocacy efforts, and authoring opinion editorials in local newspapers commenting on various issues affecting Internet-enabled small businesses. The entire eBay Government Relations team has enjoyed working alongside Joy and it was a pleasure to award her with the 2023 SBAN Advocacy Leadership Award.

Laurie Wong, Owner, Reflections of Trinity

Poweder Springs, GA

To say eBay has changed the quality of my life is an understatement. It’s so much more than that. We would not be where we are today without eBay.

 

Sophia Stevens, Owner, Sweet Pea Spices

Dallas, TX  

I carry unique products that might be common in some parts of the country, but hard to find in rural areas. eBay has allowed buyers to connect with our products, which has generated repeat and return buyers.
