OUR PEOPLE
Investing in Leadership
We welcome talented people from all backgrounds to learn, grow, and achieve their goals. When employees join eBay, we strive to help them succeed based on their unique skills and ambitions. Our learning opportunities are calibrated to support our global workforce, with specific programs designed to accelerate the growth of our leaders into senior and executive roles.
OUR PEOPLE
Health and Financial Benefits
At eBay, we care about our employees’ health. Through our global benefits program, we aim to support and empower our employees with the resources they need to bring their best selves to work.
Employees can access a wide range of benefits, including comprehensive health insurance, retirement plans, and paid time off. These benefits extend to part-time employees working 20 or more hours per week. Globally, full-time employees can access additional benefits, including a company-paid employee assistance plan for mental health and life management, a wellness platform, a medical second opinion program, and a sabbatical program that our executives champion.
Family Planning
We support families in the U.S. by providing adoption and fertility benefits, as well as coverage for birthing midwives and doulas. In 2023, eBay greatly expanded benefits for employee families.
We offer 100% paid leave worldwide, including 20 weeks for birth parents and 12 weeks for non-birth parents. We offer a surrogacy reimbursement of up to $25,000 and adoption reimbursement up to $10,000. We also provide resources to support new parents, including onsite lactation facilities.
In the U.S., we launched two new initiatives last year of note:
- Support of midwife services in medical plans. Midwives provide excellent care in line with global standards.
- Promote high-value obstetrician/gynecologist (OB-GYN) care. We created a program for our Utah employees to identify the top-performing OB-GYNs in the state, which includes an analysis of clinical performance of Utah-based OB-GYNs and an incentive program to encourage employees and their family members to choose them.
We introduced the Family First program, which offers legal support to employees to help create personalized care plans for their loved ones, and we expanded our parental support program to include resources with teens and neurodivergent children.
At eBay, we understand life sometimes presents difficult challenges. We now offer 10 days of bereavement leave for the loss of immediate family members. Employees can also receive up to 10 days of emergency leave to handle situations like domestic violence, war, or natural disasters.
I love the culture at eBay where we provide sabbaticals — it’s part of who we are and how we recognize our employees. The sabbatical program is just amazing.

GCX4Good
eBay’s Global Customer Experience (GCX) team introduced GCX4Good two years ago as a means to create opportunities for employees to give back to their communities, fundraise for people in need, and make a positive impact on the world.
OUR VALUES
Employee Giving and Volunteering
eBay Foundation’s Changemakers support our company’s purpose to connect people and build communities to create economic opportunities for all. That aim goes beyond who we are as a business, and defines who we are as people.
Our global Changemaker teams embody our values by driving, giving, and volunteering in their local communities — throughout 14 countries and seven U.S. states. The eBay Foundation supports all Changemaker teams with strategic oversight, materials, and training. Putting trust and empathy into action, Changemakers are making a real difference where they live and work.
The eBay Foundation matches up to $10,000 in donations to eligible nonprofits per employee, per year, including in-kind donations (such as toys or canned food items for a donation drive) and volunteer time. For every volunteer hour an employee logs on our matching gifts site, they earn a $20 matching reward to donate to their favorite cause.
In 2023, more than 2,000 employees volunteered over 50,000 hours — the equivalent of about 2,000 calendar days — to support their communities. In total, eBayers donated to more than 3,700 causes in 53 countries. Over $7 million was awarded to nonprofit organizations through employee contributions and matching gifts.
How we show up in the communities where our employees live and work matters. From volunteering to driving local giving campaigns, our employees play an important role.
