Public Policy
We take our role as a business operating in Europe seriously and engage constructively with policymakers and other organisations on issues affecting our customers, selling partners, and wider society.
Small Businesses
Third-party sellers, many of whom are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), account for more than 50% of everything we sell across the European region, covering eight EU member states. We welcome efforts made by EU policymakers to enhance the Single Market to the benefit of all SMEs across the region, and we will continue to advocate for the European small businesses which sell across borders every day.
