Quote:eBay's CEO Meg Whitman is joining several hundred small-business owners "taking it to the Hill" today, visiting their lawmakers as part of the NFIB Small-Business Summit.
What? eBay is a multi-billion dollar international corporation so what's the company's CEO doing hanging out with a bunch of small-business owners? In an early-morning address to the group, Whitman explained that more than 700,000 eBayers are operating either their primary or part-time businesses through eBay. While she admitted that eBay founders and executives were slow to realize it, eBay has become one of the primary e-commerce platforms for small businesses--"It has leveled the playing field of the Internet," she said.
