Small businesses are not just participating in the global economy — they are helping shape its future. During #NationalSmallBusinessWeek, eBay hosted #MadeByAmerica on Capitol Hill, bringing together policymakers, sellers, and industry leaders to highlight how the spirit that built America continues to drive entrepreneurship today. With an original copy of the Declaration of Independence on display, the event offered a powerful reminder of the country’s founding ideals - and how they continue to show up in the small businesses being built today. From lowering barriers to entry to enabling instant access to global markets, eBay continues to invest in tools and technology that make it easier to start and scale a business. Today, millions of sellers are leveraging innovations such as generative AI to streamline operations and focus on growth. As we look ahead to America’s 250th anniversary, we’re proud to support a marketplace where opportunity is more accessible — and where small businesses can build, grow, and compete on their own terms.
