eBay Celebrates National Small Business Week
with New Seller Recognition Program
eBay announced today, in conjunction with the start of National
Small Business Week, the launch of its first annual seller
recognition program, the Shine Awards for Small Business. Spanning
multiple categories, the award program will celebrate the
contributions of small businesses on eBay to the economy and
recognize the entrepreneurs who have used eBay to help build
successful businesses.
“eBay sellers across the country are a source of inspiration,
and they remind us that there are no entrepreneurs out there that
are more hardworking and innovative than the small business owner,”
said Hal Lawton, Senior Vice President and Head of eBay North
America. “This award is an opportunity to recognize the best and
brightest in the eBay selling community who are building businesses
and serving as an inspiration for other small businesses around the
country.”
