I could not be more excited to join eBay, a purpose-driven company that delights buyers and enables sellers everywhere. I’m inspired by the countless examples of economic opportunity and empowerment eBay creates and excited about the possibilities ahead. I love the joy of discovery and I’ve found some of the neatest things on eBay. In particular, my 40-year-old Ford Bronco is always in need of a spare part or two and the original inner door locking pins I recently bought couldn’t be located on any other automotive website.”
