Strong Board independence (10 of 12 directors are independent) P Declassified Board with all members standing for election annually P Majority vote standard for uncontested director elections P Stockholder right to call a special meeting (25% threshold) P Stockholder proxy access (adopted March 2016) P Strong stockholder engagement practices P Separate Chairman and CEO roles P Independent Chairman with robust responsibilities P Simple majority vote standard for bylaw/charter amendments and transactions P Clawback policy P Stock ownership requirements for our executive officers and directors P Anti-hedging and anti-pledging policies P Commitment to Corporate Governance Best Practices

Among the S&P 500, only ~30% of companies provide stockholders with the right to act by written consent By contrast, ~65% of S&P 500 companies provide special meeting rights Only a minority (~20%) of companies in the S&P 500 provide both rights We recommend you vote AGAINST the proposal to adopt written consent eBay regularly engages with and solicits the feedback of its stockholders and is proud of its track record of responsiveness to stockholders The Board is committed to good corporate governance and believes in maintaining policies and practices that serve the interests of all stockholders eBay’s stockholders have the right to call a special meeting at a 25% threshold eBay’s existing special meeting bylaw offers a transparent and equitable mechanism for stockholders to raise matters for consideration by the Company Written consent is less transparent and less democratic relative to holding a stockholders meeting, and thus deprives stockholders of a forum for discussion or opportunity to ask questions about proposed actions Rationale for Written Consent Opposition Market Statistics1 1 Source: SharkRepellent Note: All statistics for S&P 500 are based on SharkRepellent’s universe of coverage, which includes 470 US public companies Written Consent Stockholder Proposal
