eBay

Last week, we brought the eBay mission to Capitol Hill for our second annual Congressional Reception, Innovating for American Small Businesses, at the Cannon Hearing Room in Washington, D.C. At eBay, we empower small businesses and entrepreneurs to create economic opportunity for all. It was a privilege to join policymakers, media, and four incredible eBay sellers (Ken Gaitano, Malena Martinez, Yinka Ogunsunlade, and Linda Lightman) to show what makes eBay different and why trust is everything when you're running a business online. Our Authenticity Guarantee and Organized Retail Crime teams brought that to life in tangible ways, showing how we're combining the power of technology and people to build a safer, more trusted space for buyers and sellers. It was even more powerful to hear directly from sellers whose journeys reflect the real-world impact of that work. Thank you to the Members of Congress who continue to engage with eBay in shaping strong policies that protect consumers while fostering entrepreneurship, and a huge thank you to our sellers, and our Federal Government Relations and Seller Advocacy teams. It’s a privilege and a lot of fun to get do this work with all of you! #eBay #PublicPolicy #SmallBusiness #Ecommerce #DigitalEconomy #Innovation

Members of Congress delivered great news for eBay etrepreneurs and small business owners last week -- the 1099-K reporting threshold was restored to $20,000 and 200 transactions.    At eBay, we’ve consistently advocated for a common-sense solution that ensures casual sellers aren’t caught up in burdensome and confusing tax requirements. This 1099-K legislation provides clarity for millions of American entrepreneurs who rely on online platforms like eBay to build and grow their businesses. I want to thank Chairman Jason Smith, Senator Mike Crapo, Representative Carol Miller, and Senator Bill Hagerty for their leadership in advancing this important policy change that supports small business growth and aligns tax policy with today’s digital economy.

Having easy and consistent access to capital can be a lifeline for small businesses during slowdowns or economic uncertainty. This is where eBay’s Seller Capital program comes in. Angie Cardona-Nelson and her husband Joe Nelson have a thriving recommerce business, Angie’s GreenGo Surplus, on eBay. When they faced a cash flow crisis in 2024 and needed to obtain capital quickly, they turned to eBay Seller Capital for a cash advance. With access to fast and affordable funds, Angie’s GreenGo Surplus was able to reinvest in their increased their sales by 36 percent - a record high for the business.

Today's launch of the bipartisan Congressional Recommerce Caucus, led by U.S. Representatives Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-CA) and Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), is a milestone in elevating the secondhand economy and the digital platforms that power it. At eBay, we see firsthand how recommerce empowers entrepreneurs around the world. 79% of global eBay sellers got their start by selling pre-loved goods, underscoring how low barriers to entry can unlock opportunity at scale. Governments globally are beginning to recognize the role recommerce plays in creating more circular, sustainable economies – and we’re proud to see the U.S. Congress joining that movement. Thank you to Co-Chairs Sydney Kamlager-Dove and Nicole Malliotakis for you leadership, our amazing eBay sellers for joining us and the Wall Street Journal for a great story highlighting the importance of recommerce. https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/dfwmEm4g #RecommerceCaucus #eBay #PublicPolicy #SmallBusiness #Entrepreneurship #CircularEconomy

🚨Digital Product Passports (DPPs) aren’t just a win for circularity—they’re a game changer for fashion resale. A new report from Bain & Company, developed in collaboration with the team at eBay, finds that DPP (soon to be required in the EU) could double the lifetime value of fashion items. What’s even more compelling, is that consumers are positioned to capture up to 65% of that added value through extended use and higher resale earnings. Here’s why this matters: 🧵 DPPs make key product details—like materials, origin, and care—easily accessible. 🛍️ That transparency builds trust in resale and supports smarter reuse and recycling. 💸 A £500 product, with a DPP, could unlock another £500 in resale and services. ♻️ All while accelerating circular fashion and sustainability goals. At eBay, we’ve long believed in the power of pre-loved fashion. This report underscores how digital innovation can unlock real economic and environmental value, for brands, for platforms, and most importantly, for customers. More information and report details here: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/gvGN-RGV and a big thank you to Lennart Schlinkmann, Beatriz Reyero and Aaron Cheris for the collaboration. #CircularFashion #Resale #Sustainability #DPP #eBayFashion #BainReport #DigitalProductPassports #FashionInnovation

I recently had the pleasure of joining Jason Feifer on the Problem Solvers podcast to discuss a topic very close to my heart: supporting small businesses and entrepreneurs in their growth journey. At eBay, we’re passionate about empowering our sellers, and eBay Seller Capital is a key part of that mission. It’s designed to offer small businesses timely, accessible, and affordable capital—underpinned by a seamless experience that removes the fear, uncertainty, and doubt small business owners often face when seeking funding at their most vulnerable moments. eBay Seller Capital is more than just a financial product. It’s a #growth catalyst that scales to meet the evolving needs of our sellers as they grow. By providing flexible capital solutions that adapt to each seller’s unique journey, we’re helping them focus on what they do best: building their businesses and fueling their success. In this episode, we discuss the challenges small businesses face in accessing capital, how eBay is tackling these challenges, and what makes our approach stand out. #eBay #SellerCapital #smallbusiness https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/gTrvvFCY
