eBay Inc. CEO John Donahoe brought eBay Inc.’s message of global commerce – creating opportunities where merchants of all sizes can compete and win – to a recent U.S. Innovation and Competitiveness event hosted by the Silicon Valley Leadership Group. Asked to remark on policy challenges currently facing the nation, John addressed a crowd of over 1,000 attendees on the efforts in Congress to impose taxes on small businesses engaged in e-commerce, patent reform and immigration in a fireside discussion with new House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (CA-23). This discussion with the Majority Leader provided an amazing opportunity to discuss issues of import to not just eBay Inc., but our myriad buyers and sellers throughout the country.

eBay Inc. would like to thank Majority Leader McCarthy for engaging in those issues that affect eBay Inc., its employees across the nation, and the hundreds of millions of people that use our platforms. Learn more about the Majority Leader by visiting his website and following him on Twitter.
