Win a Trip to Washington D.C.
Okay, it’s not exactly Las Vegas but it certainly does have it’s own “What happens here…” moniker in some respects. Having only visited a handful of times, Washington D.C. still feels like a world unto its own and, thanks to the eBay Government Relations team, you have the opportunity to be a part of that world – for 3 days/2 nights – in the near future.
From the Government Relations team:
Everyday lawmakers in Washington, D.C. and state capitals around the nation are debating legislation that could impact your ability to successfully run a business on eBay. These public policies range from retail price fixing (laws allowing manufacturers to set a price below which you can’t sell your goods) or requiring you to collect & pay sales taxes on all of your out-of-state sales, to forcing eBay sellers to become licensed auctioneers (hog calling classes, anyone?).We’ve read the bills and written the talking points. Now we want to hear firsthand — from you — how a law or other government regulation has impacted your eBay business. Or tell us how enactment of a proposed law could impact your business in the future. Thanks for participating and we look forward to hearing your story!
One winner will be chosen from qualified entries. The official winner will be treated to a free trip for four to our nation’s capital in 2010, including airfare for four and hotel accommodations for two nights in Washington, D.C. Subject to restrictions and monetary limitations; see Official Rules for more details. While in town the winner (and 3 guests) will also be provided with a private tour of the U.S. Capitol building. Click here for Official Rules. Contest ends 12/4/2009!
For more information regarding the contest and rules about submitting, check out the eBay Mainstreet contest page.
You can also learn more about a variety of legislative issues relevant to the eBay Community by checking out the current list of eBay policy papers.
Cheers!

So, we “Win” a trip to D.C. to help Ebay fight off the government’s attempt to regulate?
Or can we simply cruise around D.C. for a few days?

where is link to live chat? I have looked/ tried for days with no results of a connection! send copy of address link for live chat by email?
Why is my account: “Registration blocked. Users whose registered status is blocked must resolve any outstanding complaints on file before proceeding. Please resolve all outstanding complaints and try again.”
“Click here to make a one-time payment to pay your outstanding balance in full. Learn more about account suspension.”, eBay.
I supplied the telephone number you asked for over the telephone and by email numerous times November 15, 2009.
You are harassing, discriminating and retaliating against a handicapped disabled senior person that has asked for reasonable accommodation under Federal ADA Law Title Three and other sections but has not received the reasonable accommodation –
1. why has my request for reasonable accommodation not been granted?
2. the telephone number you requested eBay received by two mods verbal and email on November 15, 2009.
3. why is the account still blocked?
4. why am I not allowed to pay for items I contracted payment fore?
5. telephone number to speak with a person and email address to corporate office in San Jose , CA, USA requested as reasonable accommodation to a handicapped disabled senior person under ADA Law so I discuss ADA Law violations and non compliance issues in order to avoid filling the charges against eBay with US Justice Department?
Sincerely,
Janet McDermott
