There are a wide range of activities that our SBAN members can participate in. The best part about SBAN membership is that you get to choose your level of involvement. We will reach out with opportunities, and you can decide if you’re interested in participating on a case by case basis. We understand that your first priority is running your business, that’s why our intention is to make every activity you choose to engage in as easy as possible for you.

Activities may include:

• Writing a letter or email to your elected officials
• Calling your elected officials
• Signing an op-ed or Letter to the Editor for local or national media outlets
• Interviewing with local and national media outlets
• Conducting a facility tour of your warehouse or business for elected officials
• Attending or speaking at a roundtable or panel event
• Attending town halls or other public events
• Meeting senior eBay executives

How to Apply

Any small business that uses the eBay platform and is interested in lending their small business story to our global advocacy efforts can join the Network. All you have to do is email [email protected] or fill out our Membership Request Form below and let us know that you’re interested in joining SBAN and a member of our team will follow up with you.

Required information for applying

Joining SBAN means that we will work together closely in our policy efforts. We will review whether you & your eBay business are eligible for the program based on your application form.

If you are, we will call you. Why? In order to determine if we are a good fit and if you would be comfortable speaking one-on-one with elected officials, media outlets or at events, we should get to know each other. If you do not want to provide your phone number or do not want us to call you, please do not apply for SBAN.
