Have you ever wondered what a public policy maker thinks when she or he hears the name “eBay”? Well, it's the job of the Americas Government Relations (AGR) Team to shape the perception of eBay at the federal, state and local levels in the U.S., as well as in Canada and Latin America.

View our new video about Cori O’Steen, owner of Upak N Ship and one of our Government Relations Small Business Ambassadors! As a single mother several years ago, Cori dreamed of having her own business to give her the flexibility she needed to manage her family. Today, she runs a successful packing company with two warehouses in South Carolina and California. She averages about seven thousand shipments a month. Charitable giving is an important part of the O’Steen’s business model.
