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.

2020 Winner

Theresa Cox, Owner, Club Red 97

Scottsdale, Arizona

A long-time eBay seller, Theresa opened her eBay store Club Red 97 in 1997 as a way to start fresh after a three-decade career in the finance operations area of higher education. Named after her favorite color, her store stocks home goods, musical instruments, fashion and accessories, many of which are themselves red. In addition to running a successful eBay business, Theresa is an active member of eBay’s seller advocate community. To date, Theresa has represented eBay twice when we partnered with the Arizona Commerce Authority to support small businesses during the COVID pandemic, has spoken at several eBay sponsored virtual events, participated in the 2018 U.S of eBay Advocacy Day, signed onto an eBay-sponsored Supreme Court Amicus brief, and been involved in multiple, regionally placed op-eds commenting on various issues affecting Internet-enabled small businesses. It’s truly been an honor to partner with Theresa.

Laurie Wong, Owner, Reflections of Trinity

“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.”
