Hi everyone, It’s Johnna from the eBay comms team –

Today’s New York Times cites a study conducted by the Institute for Policy Studies on taxes and compensation. We have reviewed the study and find it to be grossly inaccurate.

To set the record straight: eBay paid $646 million in taxes in 2010 globally, the vast majority in the U.S.

IPS misrepresented our financial reports, and made no attempt to verify the facts with us before publishing inaccurate information. The New York Times story has been corrected.

Thanks,
Johnna
