Proxy Statement Summary

Executive Compensation

Following the 2015 Spin-Off of PayPal (the “Spin-Off”), we conducted an extensive review of the Company’s compensation philosophy and executive compensation program for 2016 to determine whether they continued to be properly aligned with our business goals, culture, and importantly, stockholder interests. Following this review, the Compensation Committee and our CEO remained committed to our existing executive compensation program, which is designed to align with our business goals and culture, serves the long-term interests of our stockholders and is highly performance based. We believe that our pay-for-performance driven executive compensation program ensures that our executives’ compensation is tied to delivering results that support the Company’s business strategy and objectives.

Our Compensation Program

The goals of our executive compensation program are to:

align compensation with our business objectives, performance and stockholder interests,

motivate executive officers to enhance short-term results and long-term stockholder value,

position us competitively among the companies against which we recruit and compete for talent, and

enable us to attract, reward and retain executive officers and other key employees who contribute to our long-term success.

How We Pay Our Executive Officers

We achieve these objectives primarily by employing the following elements of pay for our executive officers:

long-term equity compensation,

an annual cash incentive, and

base salary.

Our executive officers also participate in our broad-based retirement savings and benefit programs and receive limited perquisites.

For 2016, we chose to continue to use a mix of equity and cash compensation vehicles to compensate our executive officers. We also decided to increase the weight of performance-based restricted stock units (“PBRSUs”) and eliminate the use of stock options. Our incentive compensation is dependent on financial targets that the Compensation Committee believes correlate with operating performance over one- and multi-year performance periods and long-term stock performance.

Proxy Statement Summary

The following chart shows the breakdown of 2016 compensation for our CEO, Devin Wenig, and illustrates the predominance of equity incentives and performance-based components in our executive compensation program.

Our Compensation Practices

We believe our compensation practices align with and support the goals of our executive compensation program and demonstrate our commitment to sound compensation and governance practices.

What We DoWhat We Don’t Do

We align executive compensation with the interests of our stockholders

 Deliver a majority of total compensation opportunity through performance-based compensation: PBRSUs and annual cash incentives

 Set meaningful stock ownership requirements for executive officers

We avoid excessive risk-taking

 Maintain a clawback policy

 Use multiple performance measures, caps on incentive payments, and overlapping two-year performance periods for PBRSU awards

We adhere to compensation best practices

 Retain an independent compensation consultant for the Compensation Committee

 Prohibit hedging and pledging transactions by executive officers and directors

 Provide only limited perquisites to executive officers that are not available to all employees

×       Tax gross-ups for change in control benefits

×       Automatic “single trigger” acceleration of equity upon a change in control

×       Repricing or buyout of underwater stock options without stockholder approval

2024 Proxy Statement   7
Executive Compensation Highlights
The objectives of our executive compensation program are to:
[MISSING IMAGE: ic_revenue-pn.jpg]
Align compensation with
our business objectives,
performance and
stockholder interests
[MISSING IMAGE: ic_motivate-pn.jpg]
Motivate executive officers
to enhance short-term
results and long-term
stockholder value
[MISSING IMAGE: ic_talent-pn.jpg]
Position us competitively
among the companies
against which we recruit
and compete for talent
[MISSING IMAGE: ic_reward-pn.jpg]
Enable us to attract, reward
and retain executive officers
and other key employees
who contribute to our
long-term success
Our Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote to approve an advisory resolution on the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Proxy Statement, for the following reasons.
How We Pay
Our CEO
This graphic illustrates the predominance of equity incentives and performance-based components in Mr. Iannone’s 2023 target pay mix in our core compensation program. Mr. Iannone’s compensation is highly weighted to Company performance. Over 95% of his 2023 compensation is based on Company performance goals or is otherwise subject to Company stock price performance.
[MISSING IMAGE: pc_base-pn.jpg]
Compensation
Practices
We align executive compensation with the interests of our stockholders by emphasizing pay-for-performance and weighting equity more heavily in our total compensation mix, maintaining meaningful stock ownership requirements, and providing a majority of total compensation in the form of performance-based compensation.
We promote the appropriate level of risk-taking by management through the design and administration of our compensation programs, including by having multiple performance measures, caps on incentive payments, overlapping long-term performance periods for performance-based restricted stock unit (“PBRSU”) awards and performance-based stock option (“PBSO”) awards, and a robust clawback policy. We adhere to compensation best practices, with compensation benchmarked at or around the 50th percentile of our peer group, the engagement of an independent compensation consultant and limited perquisites for executive officers that are not available to all employees.

82024 Proxy Statement
Proposal 1: Election
of Directors
Board of Directors
At the Annual Meeting, 10 directors will be elected to serve for a one-year term.
We are seeking the election of 10 directors to our Board.
Each of the nominees is currently a member of the Board, and each of the nominees has been elected previously by stockholders, except for Zane Rowe, who joined the Board on February 16, 2024. Each of the nominees has consented to serving and being named as a nominee in this Proxy Statement and to serving as a director if elected. Nine of the 10 nominees are currently independent directors under the listing standards of Nasdaq and our Corporate Governance Guidelines. If elected at the Annual Meeting, each of the nominees will serve a one-year term until our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and will hold office until their successor is elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation, retirement, or removal.
Our bylaws provide that in the event of an uncontested election, each director shall be elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast with respect to such director—i.e., the number of shares voted “FOR” a director nominee must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” that nominee. The Company has a resignation policy and bylaw provision that would apply to any nominee who does not receive the vote required for election. For more details, please see “Corporate Governance—Governance Policies and Practices—Majority Vote Standard for Election of Directors and—Director Resignation Provisions for Uncontested Elections.”
Nomination Process
Our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (“CGNC”) and Board have evaluated each of the director nominees recommended by our Board against the factors and principles eBay uses to select director nominees. Based on this evaluation, our CGNC and Board have concluded that it is in the best interests of eBay and its stockholders for each of the proposed nominees to serve as a director of eBay. The Board believes that all of these nominees have a strong track record of being responsible stewards of stockholders’ interests and bring extraordinarily valuable insight, perspective, and expertise to the Board. Additional reasons that the Board recommends supporting the election of the director nominees include:

All of the nominees have high-level managerial experience in relatively complex organizations.

Each nominee has highly relevant professional experience in the management, technology, and innovation fields.

The Board believes each nominee is an individual of high character and integrity and is able to contribute to strong board dynamics.

Each of these nominees has experience and expertise that complements the skill sets of the other nominees.

Each nominee is highly engaged and able to commit the time and resources needed to provide active oversight of eBay and its management. During 2023, our Board held eight meetings, and each then-serving Board member attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and the committees on which that member served. All of our nominees serve on two or fewer other public company boards except for one nominee who serves on three, and each of the nominees who is currently an executive officer of a publicly traded company does not serve on any other public company boards beyond eBay.
In addition to these attributes, in each individual’s biography set forth below, we have highlighted specific experience, qualifications, and skills that led the Board to conclude that each individual should serve as a director of eBay. For additional information regarding the CGNC’s approach to Board refreshment and nominations, please see “Corporate Governance—Board Composition and Independence—Ongoing Assessment of Composition—Nominating Process.”
The Board recommends a vote [MISSING IMAGE: ic_thumbsup-pn.gif]FOR each of the director nominees.

2024 Proxy Statement15
Board Composition and Independence
The Board has developed a set of guiding principles relating to Board membership. The Board believes that in light of the rapidly changing environment in which the Company operates, the Board must be comprised of members with highly relevant professional experience. In addition, although the Board does not have term limits, the Board believes that a certain amount of director turnover is to be expected and is desirable.
Ongoing Assessment of Composition
Commitment to Board Refreshment
Our Board has shown an ongoing commitment to Board refreshment and to having highly qualified, independent perspectives in the boardroom. Of our 10 director nominees, six were added since 2020. Our director nominees have an average tenure of 4.8 years. This experience balances the institutional knowledge of our longer-tenured directors with the fresh perspectives brought by our newer directors. A goal of our board refreshment is enhancing the diversity of skills and experience of the Board, in addition to strategic succession planning for alignment with oversight of long-term strategy.
Nominating Process
The CGNC considers nominee recommendations from a variety of sources, including nominees recommended by stockholders. The CGNC has from time to time retained an executive search firm to help facilitate the screening and interview process of director nominees. The CGNC expects that qualified candidates will have high-level managerial experience in a relatively complex organization (or be accustomed to dealing with complex problems) and will be able to represent the interests of the stockholders as a whole rather than special interest groups or constituencies.
Director Selection Principles
The CGNC considers a number of factors in determining director nominees that it recommends to the Board, both in connection with the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders and to fill Board vacancies. The CGNC reviews each candidate relative to the following principles.
[MISSING IMAGE: ic_tickmark-pn.gif]
The Board should be composed of directors chosen on the basis of their character, integrity, judgment, skills, background, and experience of particular relevance to the Company.
[MISSING IMAGE: ic_tickmark-pn.gif]
Directors should have high-level managerial experience in a relatively complex organization or be accustomed to dealing with complex problems.
[MISSING IMAGE: ic_tickmark-pn.gif]
Directors should also represent the balanced, best interests of the stockholders as a whole, rather than special interest groups or constituencies.
[MISSING IMAGE: ic_tickmark-pn.gif]
Each director should be an individual of the highest character and integrity, with the ability to work well with others and with sufficient time available to devote to the affairs of the Company in order to carry out the responsibilities of a director.
[MISSING IMAGE: ic_tickmark-pn.gif]
In addressing the overall composition of the Board, diversity based on gender, race, age, international background, and expertise should be considered.
[MISSING IMAGE: ic_tickmark-pn.gif]
The Board should be composed of directors who are highly engaged with our business and can commit time and resources to the Board consistent with our overboarding policy.
[MISSING IMAGE: ic_tickmark-pn.gif]
The Board should include individuals with highly relevant professional experience.
The Board then determines whether to appoint recommended director nominees, in the case of Board vacancies, and whether to present recommended director nominees to the Company’s stockholders for election, in the case of the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders.

2024 Proxy Statement.

Independence

Statement17

Director Independence
The rules of The NASDAQ Stock MarketNasdaq require listed companies to have a board of directors with at least a majority of independent directors. These rules have both objective tests and a subjective test for determining who is an “independent director.”

Objective tests

Objective test

The objective tests state, for example, that a director is not considered independent if he or she is an employee of the Company, or is a partner in, or a controlling stockholder or executive officer of, an entity to which the Company made, or from which the Company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year.

Subjective test

The subjective test requires our Board to affirmatively determine that a director does not have a relationship that would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out his or hertheir responsibilities.

On a quarterly basis, each

Each member of our Board is required to complete a questionnaire designedprovide information to provide informationsupplement the Company’s own due diligence to assist the Board in determining whether the director is independent under the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock MarketNasdaq and our Corporate Governance Guidelines, and whether members of our Audit Committee and Compensation Committeeour CHCC satisfy additional SecuritiesSEC and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and NASDAQNasdaq independence requirements.

Corporate Governance

Our Board has adopted guidelines setting forth certain categories of transactions, relationships, and arrangements that it has deemed immaterial for purposes of making its determination regarding a director’s independence, and does not consider any such transactions, relationships, and arrangements in making its subjective determination.

10 of our 12 Directors are Independent

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines require any director who has previously been determined to be independent to inform the ChairmanChair of the Board and our Corporate Secretary of any change in his or her principal occupation or status as a member of the board of any other public company, including retirement, or any change in circumstance that may cause his or hertheir status as an independent director to change.

Corporate Governance

Board of Directors and Committees

Board Leadership Structure and Effectiveness

Board Leadership
In accordance with our Bylaws,bylaws, our Board elects our ChairmanChair of the Board and appoints our CEO. OurThe Chair of the Board is elected annually. Reflecting the Board’s longstanding policy, our Corporate Governance Guidelines require that the roles of ChairmanChair of the Board and CEO be held by separate individualsindividuals. Key considerations for this policy are the Board’s belief that the separation of the offices of the Chair of the Board and CEO has been appropriate to aid in the Board’s oversight of management, while also allowing our CEO to focus primarily on management responsibilities. Under our bylaws, the Chair of the Board presides over all meetings of the Board and stockholders and has the power to request eBay to call special meetings of the Board and stockholders. As the elected leader of our Board, the Chair is influential in setting Board meeting agendas, long-term planning of Board discussions, director succession plans and the allocation of risk oversight among the Board and its standing committees. In most instances, our Chair is the independent director who engages with stockholders, when such direct engagement is deemed appropriate. Mr. Pressler has served as our Chair of the Board since June 2020.
Any change from the current structure of having a Chair separate from the CEO would be at the discretion of the Board, though the Board may seek input from stockholders if a change is contemplated in the future. Any such change would be disclosed publicly, including on our investor relations website and in our annual proxy statement. In the event that the Board determines it to be more effective to have a single individual act as both Chair and CEO, our Corporate Governance Guidelines require the appointment of a lead independent director, ifwith the Chairman of the Board is not an independent director. Mr. Tierney has served asresponsibilities set forth in our Chairman of the Board since July 2015. The Board believes that the separation of the offices of the Chairman of the Board and CEO is appropriate as it aids in the Board’s oversight of management and it allows our CEO to focus primarily on his management responsibilities.

All directors are elected annually. We do not have a classified board.

Corporate Governance Guidelines.

Committee Structure
The Board has threefour principal committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee,CHCC, the CGNC and the Corporate Governance and NominatingRisk Committee.

The purpose of the Board committees is to help the Board effectively and efficiently fulfill its responsibilities, but they do not displace the oversight of the Board as a whole. Each committee meets regularly and has a written charter that has been approved by the Board. In addition, a member of each committee periodically reports to the Board on any significant matters discussed by the committee.

Director Nominations.The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers nominee recommendations from a variety of sources, including nominees recommended by stockholders. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee has from time to time retained an executive search firm to help facilitate the screening and interview process of director nominees. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee expects that qualified candidates will have high-level managerial experience in a relatively complex organization or be accustomed to dealing with complex problems, and will be able to represent the interests of the stockholders as a whole rather than special interest groups or constituencies.

Among other factors, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers each candidate relative to the following attributes:

Character

Integrity

Judgment

Skills

Background

Experience of particular relevance to the Company

Ability to work with others to solve complex problems

Availability and willingness to devote sufficient time to Board activities

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee also considers the interplay of a candidate’s background and expertise with that of other Board members, and the extent to which a candidate may be a desirable addition to any committee of the Board. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee also values diversity as a factor in selecting nominees to serve on the Board.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee should consider diversity (including gender and race), age, international background, and expertise in evaluating potential Board members. When searching for new directors, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee actively seeks out qualified women and individuals from minority groups to include in the pool from which Board nominees are chosen. Finally, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee also takes into account the set of guiding principles relating to Board membership described in “Our Corporate Governance Practices — Succession Planning” below.

Stockholder Rights

Our Board is committed to good corporate governance and believes in maintaining policies and practices that serve the interests of all stockholders, including governance provisions that protect and empower stockholders, including:

Special Meeting – Stockholders representing 25% or more of eBay common stock can call a special stockholders meeting.

Annual Election of Board of Directors – All directors are elected annually by the stockholders, and stockholders can remove directors with or without cause.

Majority Voting for Election of Board of Directors – We have adopted a majority voting standard for the election of directors in uncontested elections.

Proxy Access for Director Nominations – We have adopted a proxy access bylaw provision that allows an eligible stockholder or group of stockholders to nominate candidates for election to the Board that are included in our proxy statement and ballot.

Majority Voting for Charter and Bylaw Amendments – Our charter and bylaw provisions do not have supermajority voting provisions. Stockholders can approve binding charter and bylaw amendments with a majority vote.

No Stockholder Rights Plan – We do not have a stockholder rights plan (also known as a “poison pill”).

Independent Board Leadership – We have separated the roles of Chairman of the Board and CEO. The Chairman of the Board is an independent director – as are all of the chairs of the committees of the Board.

Stockholder Engagement – Stockholders can communicate directly with the Board and/or individual directors. (See “Contacting the Board or Individual Directors” below.) In addition, management and members of the Board regularly engage with stockholders to solicit their views on important issues such as corporate governance and executive compensation.

Stockholder Engagement on Corporate Governance and Our Executive Compensation Program

We have a practice of regularly engaging with stockholders to seek their feedback on our corporate governance practices and our executive compensation program. After we file our proxy statement, we engage with our largest stockholders about important topics to be addressed at our annual meeting. In the fall, we conduct an additional cycle of stockholder engagement where we focus on our corporate governance practices and executive compensation program, as well as anything else resulting from matters voted on at our annual meeting. Following each round of stockholder engagement, we provide an overview of the discussions and feedback to the applicable Committees, which is also discussed with the Board.

Corporate Governance |Our Corporate Governance Practices

Gender Pay Equity and Global Diversity & Inclusion.At our 2016 annual meeting, stockholders considered a stockholder proposal to publish a report on gender pay equity. Prior to receiving this stockholder proposal, we had begun the process of conducting an extensive global study of gender pay equity that considered the main components of compensation, including salary, bonus and stock. While the proposal did not pass, it garnered significant support. In October 2016, we publicly disclosed key findings of our pay equity study, including that women earn the same as men in the U.S. in terms of salary. As part of our fall governance outreach, we updated our stockholders on the results of our gender pay equity study. In addition, in March 2017, we publicly disclosed our first Global Diversity & Inclusion report since the Spin-Off of PayPal and the sale of our Enterprise segment. The report included both quantitative information on our global gender diversity and U.S. racial and ethnic diversity and qualitative information on our strategic approach, programs and initiatives.

Our Corporate Governance Practices

We believe that strong corporate governance practices that provide meaningful rights to our stockholders and ensure Board accountability are key to our relationship with our stockholders. To help our stockholders understand our commitment to this relationship and our governance practices, the Board has adopted a set of Corporate Governance Guidelines to set a framework within which the Board will conduct its business. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines are summarized below along with certain other of our governance practices.

Meetings of the Board of Directors and Committees

Executive Sessions among Independent Directors. At least several times a year, the independent directors meet in executive session. The Chairman leads these discussions.

Outside Advisors. The Board and each of its committees may retain outside advisors of its choosing at the Company’s expense. Neither the Board nor any committee is required to obtain management’s consent to retain outside advisors.

Risk management is embedded across our businesses, with oversight of our company-wide initiatives by the Board is ultimately responsible forand its committees as illustrated above. Our approach to risk oversight at eBay, the Board has delegated to the Audit Committee the primary responsibility for the oversight of risks facing our businesses. The Audit Committee’s charter provides that it will review and discuss with management our major risk exposures, including financial, operational, privacy, security, cybersecurity, competition, legal, and regulatory risks, and the steps we have taken to detect, monitor, and actively manage such exposures, as well as management’s risk assessment and risk management policies. The Audit Committee reviews with our General Counsel any significant legal, compliance, and regulatory matters that could have a material impact on our financial statements or our business, including material notices to or inquiries received from governmental agencies. We also have embedded an enterprise risk management (“ERM”) program across our core businesses, aligned with our Company-wide initiative involving the Audit Committee, management, and other personnel. The ERM framework is designed to identify, assess, prioritize and manage our major risk exposures whichthat could affect our ability to execute on our corporate strategy and fulfill our business objectives. TheOur ERM program is designed to enableenables the Audit CommitteeBoard to establish a mutual understanding with management ofon the effectiveness of the Company’s risk management practices and capabilities, to reviewincluding with division of responsibilities for reviewing the Company’s risk exposure and risk tolerance, tracking emerging risks and to elevateensuring proper escalation of certain key risks for oversight atperiodic review by the Board level.

Management’s Role in Risk Oversight.Our Vice President, Internal Auditand its committees.

Management collaborates internally, periodically engages independent advisors to update risk assessments and works across the organization to help our business groups and functions identify emerging risks and trends. Short- and long-term risks are evaluated regularly, and senior management is responsible for our internal audit functionprioritizing risks and ourdeveloping a culture of risk-aware practices to identify and manage the appropriate level of risk governance framework, which includes risk assessment, monitoring, and reporting. The Vice President, Internal Audit reports directly to the Audit Committee, and the Audit Committee reviews and evaluates the compensation and performance of the Vice President, Internal Audit and provides the Vice President, Internal Audit with direct access to the Audit Committee. The Vice President, Internal Audit facilitates the Audit Committee’s review and approval of the internal audit plan and provides regular reporting on audit activities. In addition, through consultation with management, the Vice President, Internal Audit periodically assesses the major risks facing eBay and coordinatesconsistent with the executives responsible for suchCompany’s business strategy. Risks are mapped based on probability, immediacy and potential magnitude, and eBay’s risk management strategies and Board oversight processes are designed accordingly. Examples of key risks throughencompassed by the ERM program include, without limitation, cybersecurity, data privacy, human capital management and regulatory compliance.
On a regular basis, the Board and its committees engage with our senior management and other members of management on risk governance process. The Vice President, Internal Auditas part of broad strategic and operational discussions that encompass interrelated risks, as well as on a risk-by-risk basis. In 2023, we separated internal management of ethics and compliance and consolidated several areas of compliance under our Chief Compliance Officer, who reports to our Chief Financial Officer. Our Chief Compliance Officer periodically reviews with the AuditRisk Committee the major risks facing eBayunder its oversight and the steps management has taken to detect, monitor and actively manage those risks within the agreed risk tolerance. Likewise, our Chief Sustainability Officer shares with the CGNC emerging trends and risks relating to sustainability, our strategy for improving our sustainability efforts, and how our sustainability efforts are rated on external indices. Our Audit Committee has an annual cadence to review the risks included in its remit, including quarterly meetings regarding ethics programs with our Chief Ethics Officer. The executiveCHCC engages with our Chief People Officer and our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (“DE&I”) leader several times per year regarding the most relevant risks and opportunities concerning our workforce, including an annual review of the Company’s risk assessment of its compensation policies and practices for its employees, assesses whether such policies and practices encourage excessive risk-taking and evaluates policies and practices that could mitigate such risks. The executives responsible for managing a particular risk (in the case of cybersecurity risks, our Chief Technology Officer and Chief Information Security Officer) may also report to the Audit Committeefull Board or its committees, as appropriate, on how the risk is being managed and progress towards agreed mitigation goals.

In addition

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures, including within our cybersecurity incident response plans, designed for analysis of potentially material events covered by our risk management framework, including cybersecurity incidents or threats.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Highlights
DE&I is core to who we are and is a key principle upon which our business is built. We are committed to being a richly diverse, truly equitable and fearlessly inclusive place to work, grow, sell and buy. Our approach to DE&I continues to focus on key objectives we need to deliver to realize sustained progress. Our four objectives are: increasing representation, cultivating a sense of belonging, engaging our communities and allies—our sellers and buyers as well as the broader communities we serve—and building inclusive technology. Equity remains at the forefront of what we do as we deliver meaningful progress across each of these strategic objectives. We plan to continue to be transparent about our journey, progress made as well as lessons learned. The results of our eighth gender pay equity study found that we have 100.5% pay parity for women in the U.S. and 100.3% globally as of April 1, 2024.

eBay Impact: Our Focus on Sustainability
As a result of our most recent sustainability materiality assessment, which was facilitated by an outside advisor, eBay’s Impact team focuses its efforts on several key areas, including Economic Opportunity, Sustainable Commerce, Culture & Workforce and maintaining a Trusted Marketplace. This assessment is updated every three years to ensure that our Impact programs continue to reflect our most salient issues. As noted above, the CGNC receives periodic updates on eBay sustainability initiatives, reporting, investor feedback and third-party ratings.
Many of our Impact sustainability initiatives involve cross-company collaboration on goal setting, impact measurement and reporting, which is published annually on the eBay Impact section of our Company website. To advance our strategies, manage environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) risks and capitalize on opportunities, eBay formed the ESG Council, which is composed of key members of our management team and engages with numerous critical partners across the Company. This Council is chaired by our Chief Sustainability Officer and is a key part of eBay integrating sustainability into the business and supporting our transition to a low carbon economy. We are currently focusing our transition efforts on achieving our renewable energy and carbon emissions targets discussed in the table below. We published our fourth Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures report in 2023 to address stakeholders’ interest in increased disclosure regarding our climate-related risks and opportunities.

2024 Proxy Statement25
Through the combination of the ERM program and our Impact sustainability efforts, we believe eBay appropriately addresses the spectrum of risks facing our businesses, including but not limited to each of the material issues identified by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board industry standards as being applicable to companies in our industry, including climate risks. We have published additional information on this topic in the eBay Impact section of our Company website at https://www.ebayinc.com/impact/.

Majority Vote Standard for Election of Directors
Our bylaws provide that in the event of an uncontested election, each director shall be elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast with respect to such director—i.e., the numbers of shares voted “FOR” a director nominee must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” that nominee. “ABSTAIN” votes will be counted as present for purposes of this vote but are not counted as votes cast. Broker non-votes will not be counted as present and are not considered votes on the proposal. As a result, abstentions and broker non-votes will have assessed the compensation policies and practices for our employees and concluded that they do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverseno effect on the Company. This analysis was presentedvote for Proposal 1: Election of Directors.
Director Resignation Provisions for Uncontested Elections
If a nominee who is serving as a director (an “Incumbent Director”) fails to receive the required number of votes for election in accordance with our bylaws in an uncontested election, under Delaware law, the Incumbent Director would continue to serve on the Board as a “holdover director” until their successor is elected and qualified, until they are re-nominated after consideration by the CGNC as described further below or until their earlier death, resignation, retirement, or removal pursuant to our bylaws. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that, in considering whether to nominate any Incumbent Director for election, the Board will take into account whether the Incumbent Director has tendered an irrevocable resignation that is effective upon the Board’s acceptance of such resignation in the event the director fails to receive the required vote to be elected, as described above and as contemplated in our bylaws. In the case of a proposed nominee who is not an Incumbent Director, the Board will take into account whether they have agreed to tender such a resignation prior to being nominated for election. All of the director nominees are currently serving on the Board, and each director nominee has submitted such an irrevocable resignation.
Under our bylaws, in the case of an uncontested election, if a nominee who is an Incumbent Director does not receive the required vote for election, the CGNC or another committee of the Board will decide whether to accept or reject such director’s resignation (if the director has tendered such a resignation), or whether to take other action, within 90 days after the date of the certification of the election results (subject to an additional 90-day period in certain circumstances). In reaching its decision, the CGNC will review factors it deems relevant, which may include any stated reasons for “AGAINST” votes, whether the underlying cause or causes of the “AGAINST” votes are curable, criteria considered by the CGNC in evaluating potential candidates for the Board, the length of service of such director, the size and holding period of such director’s stock ownership in the Company, and such director’s contributions to the Audit CommitteeCompany. The CGNC’s decision will be publicly disclosed in a filing with the SEC. If a nominee who was not already serving as a director fails to receive the required votes to be elected at the Annual Meeting, they will not become a member of the Board.
Stock Ownership Guidelines
Our Board has adopted stock ownership guidelines to better align the interests of our directors and executive officers with the interests of our stockholders and further promote our commitment to sound corporate governance. Under these guidelines, our executive officers are required to achieve ownership of eBay common stock valued at three times their annual base salary (six times in the case of our CEO). For the executive officers, these guidelines are initially calculated using the executive officer’s annual base salary as of the date the person is

Our non-employee directors are required to achieve ownership of eBay common stock valued at five times the value of the annual retainer payable to directors. For the non-employee directors, these guidelines are initially calculated as of the director’s election to the Board and are then recalculated each June 1st thereafter.

Conflicts of Interest

Interest/Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We expect our directors, executive officers, and other employees to conduct themselves with the highest degree of integrity, ethics, and honesty. Our credibility and reputation depend uponon the good judgment, ethical standards, and personal integrity of each director, executive officer, and employee. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires that directors, executive officers, and other employees disclose actual or potential conflicts of interest and recuse themselves from related decisions. In order toTo better protect us and our stockholders, we regularly review our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and related policies to ensure that they provide clear guidance to our directors, executive officers, and employees.

The Company also has practices that address potential conflicts in circumstances where a non-employee director is a control person of an investment fund that desires to make an investment in or acquire a company that may compete with one of the Company’s businesses. Under those circumstances, the director is required to notify the Company’s CEO and General Counsel of the proposed transaction, and the Company’s senior management then assesses the nature and degree to which the investee company is competitive with the Company’s businesses, as well as the potential overlaps between the Company and the investee company. If the Company’s senior management determines that the competitive situation and potential overlaps between eBay and the investee company are acceptable, approval of the transaction by the Company would be conditioned upon the director agreeing to certain limitations (including refraining from joining the board of directors of the investee company or conveying any confidential or proprietary material between the Company and the investee company, abstaining from being the primary decision-maker for the investment fund with respect to the investee company, and recusing himself/herselfthemself from portions of Company Board meetings that contain competitive information reasonably pertinent to the investee company).

Certain Transactions with Directors and Officers

Certain Transactions with Directors and Officers

Our Audit Committee reviews and approves the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which applies to our directors, officers, and employees and reviews our programs that are designed to ensure compliance with the Code of Business Conduct.Conduct and Ethics. The Audit Committee also reviews and approves all transactions with related persons that are required to be disclosed in this section of our Proxy Statement. The charter of our Audit Committee and our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics may be found on our investor relations website athttps://investors.ebayinc.com/corporate-governance.cfmcorporate-governance/governance-documents/.

Our Board has adopted a written policy for the review of related person transactions. For purposes of the policy, a related person transaction includes transactions in which (1) the amount involved is more than $120,000, (2) eBay is a participant, and (3) any related person has a direct or indirect material interest. The policy defines a “related person” to include directors, nominees for director, executive officers, beneficial holders of more than five percent5% of eBay’s outstanding common stock and their respective family members. Pursuant to the policy, all related person transactions must be approved by the Audit Committee or, in the event of an inadvertent failure to bring the transaction to the Audit Committee for pre-approval, ratified by the Audit Committee. In the event that a member of the Audit Committee has an interest in a related person transaction, the transaction must be approved or ratified by the disinterested members of the Audit Committee. In deciding whether to approve or ratify a related person transaction, the Audit Committee will consider the following factors:


Whether the terms of the transaction are (a) fair to eBay and (b) at least as favorable to eBay as would apply if the transaction did not involve a related person;


Whether there are demonstrable business reasons for eBay to enter into the transaction;


Whether the transaction would impair the independence of an outside director under eBay’s director independence standards; and


Whether the transaction would present an improper conflict of interest for any director or executive officer, taking into account the size of the transaction, the overall financial position of the related person, the direct or indirect nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction and the ongoing nature of any proposed relationship, and any other factors the Audit Committee deems relevant.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. These agreements require us to indemnify such individuals, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, for certain liabilities to which they may become subject as a result of their affiliation with eBay.

Since January 1, 2016,2023, there were no related person transactions, and we are not aware of any currently proposed related person transactions, that would require disclosure under SEC rules.

The CHCC is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the Board regarding compensation paid to all directors who are not employees of Directors

Proposal Snapshot

What is being voted on. Election of 12 directors named in this Proxy Statement to our Board to hold office until our 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

AteBay, or any parent, subsidiary, or affiliate of eBay, for their Board and committee services. Pay Governance LLC (“Pay Governance”) serves as the CHCC’s independent compensation consultant. In connection with its engagement, Pay Governance assists the CHCC in conducting annual peer benchmarking and assessment of market trends and best practices, to ensure that eBay’s director compensation program is in line with the market and that pay levels are comparable to peers. Our most recent benchmarking indicates that our compensation is benchmarked at or around the 50th percentile of our peer group.

Annual Meeting, 12compensation to continuing non-employee directors will be electedconsisted of (a) Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), granted on the date of the annual meeting with a grant date value equal to serve$250,000 or, for a one-year term until our 2018 Annual Meeting and until their successors are elected and qualified.

Our Board is currently composed of 12 members, 10 of whom are currently independent directors undernon-employee director serving as the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market.

The term of office of each of the nominees standing for election at the Annual Meeting expires at the upcoming Annual Meeting. All of the nominees are currently membersChair of the Board, and$350,000, in each case, the number of RSUs being determined by dividing the grant date value by the closing price per share of the nominees has been elected previouslyCompany’s common stock on the date of grant, rounded up to the nearest whole share and (b) an annual cash retainer of $80,000 plus additional cash fees for chair and committee service paid in quarterly installments (or, at the non-employee director’s discretion, paid in additional shares of the Company’s common stock of an equivalent value, calculated in the same manner as the annual equity award (as described above), rounded up to the nearest whole share). The annual equity award and Board and committee retainers are pro-rated in the event that a non-employee director serves for a portion of a year. For newly appointed non-employee directors, the annual equity award is granted shortly following the date of the director’s appointment, with the number of RSUs being determined by dividing the grant date value (pro-rated based on the remaining portion of a year) by the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on the date of the Company’s most recent annual meeting. However, if the non-employee director is appointed more than nine months since the last annual meeting, the director will receive cash in lieu of any equity award grant.

In 2023, the Board and stockholders except Logan D. Green,approved our Equity Incentive Award Plan, as amended and restated, which includes a maximum annual limit of $600,000 (increased by two times for the year in which a the non-employee director commences service on the Board) on the value of equity awards that may be paid, issued, or granted to a non-employee director in any fiscal year (excluding any equity issued in lieu of cash). For purposes of this limitation, the value of equity awards is based on the grant date fair value.
We previously issued Deferred Stock Units (“DSUs”) as equity compensation for our non-employee directors. Since January 1, 2017, RSUs have been granted in lieu of DSUs as compensation for non-employee directors. DSUs granted prior to August 1, 2013 are payable in Company common stock or cash (at our election) following the termination of a non-employee director’s service on the Board. DSUs granted on or after August 1, 2013 are payable solely in Company common stock following the termination of a non-employee director’s service on the Board. In the event of a change in control of eBay, any unvested RSU awards granted to our non-employee directors will accelerate and become fully vested.
The following table sets forth annual retainers, which have remained unchanged since 2018 (except for the addition in 2020 of the retainer for the Chair of the Risk Committee), paid to our non-employee directors who joinedserve as Chair of the Board, the Chairs of the Audit, Compensation and Human Capital, Corporate Governance and Nominating, and Risk Committees, and as members of those Committees. Directors with an interest and background in technology who meet regularly with our senior technologists and report significant matters to the Board do not receive any additional compensation for such service.

Background to the Board’s Recommendation in Favor of eBay’s Nominees

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers a number of factors and principles in determining the slate of director nominees for election to the Company’s Board that it recommends to the Board, as discussed in the section titled “Corporate Governance – Board of Directors and Committees – Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee,” above. In particular, the Board considers the following factors and principles to evaluate and select nominees:

The Board should be composed of directors chosen on the basis of their character, integrity, judgment, skills, background, and experience of particular relevance to the Company.

Directors should have high-level managerial experience in a relatively complex organization or be accustomed to dealing with complex problems.

Directors should also represent the balanced, best interestsfirst annual meeting of the stockholders as a whole, rather than special interest groups or constituencies.

Each director should be an individual of the highest character and integrity, with the ability to work well with others and with sufficient time available to devote to the affairs of the Company in order to carry outthat occurs after the responsibilitiesgrant date.
As of a director.

In addressing the overall composition of the Board, characteristics such as diversity (including gender, race and age), international background, and expertise should be considered.

The Board should be composed of directors who are highly engaged with our business.

The Board should include individuals with highly relevant professional experience.

Our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and Board have evaluatedDecember 31, 2023, each of the director nominees against the factors and principles eBay uses to select director nominees. Based on this evaluation, our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board have concluded that it is in the best interests of eBay and its stockholders for each of the proposed nominees listed below to serve as a director of eBay. The Board believes that all of these nominees have a strong track record of being responsible stewards of stockholders’ interests and bring extraordinarily valuable insight, perspective, and expertise to the Board. Additional reasons that the Board recommends supporting the election of the director nominees include:

All of the nominees have high-level managerial experience in relatively complex organizations.

Each nominee has highly relevant professional experience in the management, technology, and innovation fields.

Each nominee is highly engaged and able to commit the time and resources needed to provide active oversight of eBay and its management. None of the nominees sits on the boards of more than three other public companies, and each of ourthen-serving non-employee directors attended at least 75% ofheld the aggregate numbers of all of our Board meetingsDSUs and committee meetings for committees on which such director served during 2016.

The Board believes each nominee is an individual of high character and integrity and is able to contribute to strong board dynamics.

Each of these nominees has experience and expertise that complement the skill sets of the other nominees.

In addition to these attributes, in each individual’s biographyRSUs set forth below, we have highlighted specific experience, qualifications, and skills that led the Board to conclude that each individual should serve as a director of eBay.

Proposal 2 — Advisory Vote to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation

Proposal Snapshot

What is being voted on. Advisory vote to approve named executive officer compensation.

Board recommendation.The Board recommends a voteFOR Proposal 2.

In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are asking stockholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables, and related narrative discussion of such compensation included in this322024 Proxy Statement

As discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Compensation Committee of the Board is committed to an executive compensation program that is aligned with our business goals, culture, and stockholder interests. We believe a competitive compensation program that is highly performance-based is key to delivering long-term stockholder returns.

Our executive compensation program is designed to:

align compensation with our business objectives, performance and stockholder interests;

motivate executive officers to enhance short-term results and long-term stockholder value;

position us competitively among the companies against which we recruit and compete for talent; and

enable us to attract, reward and retain executive officers and other key employees who contribute to our long-term success.

To achieve these objectives, our executive compensation program has three principal components: long-term equity compensation, an annual cash incentive, and base salary. The Compensation Committee seeks to have our named executive officers’ total compensation heavily weighted to variable, performance-based compensation by delivering a majority of compensation in the form of performance-based restricted stock units and annual cash incentives. Performance-based restricted stock units are granted based on our achievement of financial performance goals over a two-year performance period. Under our annual cash incentive plan, 75% of each named executive officer’s target bonus for 2016 was based on Company financial performance with the remaining 25% based on individual performance; there is no payout for individual performance unless thresholds for Company performance are met. We also granted time-based restricted stock units, the value of which depends on the performance of the Company’s stock.

The Compensation Committee believes that the goals of our executive compensation program are appropriate and that the program is properly structured to achieve those goals. We have engaged in ongoing discussions with our investors, who generally support those goals and the program, and we believe our stockholders as a whole should support them as well.

We are asking our stockholders to indicate their support for the compensation of our named executive officers as described in this Proxy Statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on the compensation of our named executive officers. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies, and practices described in this Proxy Statement. Accordingly, we ask our stockholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the 2016 Summary Compensation Table, and the other related tables and disclosures.”

While the say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the Board and the Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and will take into account the outcome of this vote in considering future compensation arrangements. It is expected that the next say-on-pay vote will occur at the 2018 annual meeting.

Proposal 3 — Advisory Vote to Approve the Frequency with which the Advisory Vote to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation Should Be Held

Proposal Snapshot

What is being voted on. Advisory vote to approve the frequency with which the advisory vote to approve named executive officer compensation should be held.

Board recommendation. The Board recommends a frequency ofEVERY YEARfor Proposal 3.

We are asking stockholders to indicate how frequently we should seek an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers (i.e., the frequency of a say-on-pay vote). This proposal is commonly known as a “say-on-frequency” proposal. Stockholders may indicate whether they would prefer an advisory vote on executive compensation every year, every two years, or every three years, or they may abstain from voting on this proposal. We have historically solicited an advisory vote on executive compensation every year, and the Board believes that continuing to hold such a vote every year is advisable for a number of reasons, including the following:

an annual advisory vote enables our stockholders to provide the Company with input regarding the compensation of our named executive officers on a timely basis; and

an annual advisory vote on compensation of our named executive officers is consistent with our policy of seeking input from our stockholders on corporate governance matters and our compensation philosophy, policies, and practices for our named executive officers.

Stockholders are not voting to approve or disapprove the Board’s recommendation. Instead, you may cast your vote on your preferred voting frequency by choosing any of the following four options with respect to this proposal: “every year,” “every two years,” “every three years,” or “abstain.” For the reasons discussed above, we are asking our stockholders to vote for a frequency of “every year.”

The say-on-frequency vote is advisory and therefore not binding on the Company, the Board, or the Compensation Committee. The Board and the Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and will take into account the outcome of this vote in considering the frequency with which the advisory vote on compensation of our named executive officers will be held in the future.

Proposal 4 — Ratification of Appointment of Independent Auditors

Proposal Snapshot

What is being voted on. Ratification of appointment of independent auditors.

Board recommendation. The Board and the Audit Committee recommend a voteFOR Proposal 4.

Audit Matters
The Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, and oversight of the independent auditors retained to audit our consolidated financial statements. We have appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.2024. PwC has auditedserved as our historical consolidated financial statements for all annual periodsauditors since our incorporation in 1996.1997. In order to assure continuing auditor independence, the Audit Committee periodically considers whether there should be a regular rotation of the independent audit firm. Further, in conjunction with the mandated rotation of the independent audit firm’s lead engagement partner, the Audit Committee will continue to be directly involved in the selection and evaluation of PwC’s lead engagement partner. The Board and the Audit Committee believe that the continued retention of PwC to serve as our independent auditors is in the best interests of eBay and our stockholders. We expect that representatives of PwC will be present at the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they wish, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Our Bylawsbylaws do not require the stockholders to ratify the appointment of PwC as our independent auditors. However, we are submitting the appointment of PwC to our stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain PwC. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may change the appointment at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of eBay and our stockholders.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy
The Audit Committee has adopted a policy requiring the pre-approval of any non-audit engagement of PwC. In the event that we wish to engage PwC to perform accounting, technical, diligence, or other permitted services not related to the services performed by PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm, our internal finance personnel will prepare a summary of the proposed engagement, detailing the nature of the engagement, the reasons why PwC is the preferred provider of such services, and the estimated duration and cost of the engagement. This information will be provided to our Audit Committee or a designated Audit Committee member, who will evaluate whether the proposed engagement will interfere with the independence of PwC in the performance of its auditing services and decide whether the engagement will be permitted.

On an interim basis, any non-audit engagement may be presented to the Chair of the Audit Committee for approval and to the full Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

eBay’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;

The independent auditors’ qualifications and independence;

The performance of eBay’s internal audit function and independent auditors;

The quality and integrity of eBay’s financial statements and reports;

Reviewing and approving all audit engagement fees and terms, as well as all non-audit engagements with the independent auditors; and

Producing this report.

The Audit Committee members are not professional accountants or auditors,has reviewed and these functions are not intended to replace or duplicate the activities ofdiscussed with our management or the independent auditors. Management has primary responsibility for preparing theour audited consolidated financial statements and designing and assessing the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Management and the internal auditing department are responsible for maintaining appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles and policies and internal controls and procedures that provide for compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. PwC, eBay’s independent auditors, are responsible for planning and carrying out an audit of eBay’s financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and eBay’s internal control over financial reporting, expressing an opinion on the conformity of eBay’s audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles as well as the effectiveness of eBay’s internal control over financial reporting, reviewing eBay’s quarterly financial statements prior to the filing of each quarterly report on Form 10-Q, and other procedures.

During 2016 and in early 2017, in connection with the preparation of eBay’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, and in fulfillment of our oversight responsibilities, we did the following, among other things:

2023.
Discussed with PwC the overall scope of and plans for their audit;

Reviewed, upon completion of the audit, the financial statements to be included in the Form 10-K and management’s report on internal control over financial reporting and discussed the audited financial statements and eBay’s internal control over financial reporting with management;

Conferred with PwC and with senior management of eBay regarding the scope, adequacy, and effectiveness of internal accounting and financial reporting controls (including eBay’s internal control over financial reporting) in effect;

Instructed PwC that the independent auditors are ultimately accountable to the Board and theThe Audit Committee as representatives of the stockholders;

Discussed with PwC, both during and after completion of their audit processes, the results of their audit, including PwC’s assessment of the quality and appropriateness, not just acceptability, of the accounting principles applied by eBay, the reasonableness of significant judgments, the nature of significant risks and exposures, the adequacy of the disclosures in the financial statements, as well as other matters required to be communicated under generally accepted auditing standards, including the matters required by applicable accounting standards; and

Obtained from PwC, in connection with the audit, a timely report relating to eBay’s annual audited financial statements describing all critical accounting policies and practices to be used, all alternative treatments of financial information within generally accepted accounting principles that werehas discussed with management, ramifications of the use of such alternative disclosures and treatments, the treatment preferred by PwC, and any material written communications between PwC and management.

Our Audit Committee held nine meetings in 2016. Throughout the year, we conferred with PwC, eBay’s internal audit team, and senior management in separate executive sessions to discuss any matters that the Audit Committee, PwC, the internal audit team, or senior management believed should be discussed privately with the Audit Committee. We have direct and private access to both the internal and external auditors of eBay.

We have discussed with PwCPricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), our independent registered public accounting firm, the matters required to be discussed by the statement on Auditing Standards No. 16 (Communication with Audit Committees)applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

The Audit Committee has also received the written disclosures and the letter from PwC required by applicable requirements of the applicable Public Company Accounting Oversight Board requirements for independent accountantPCAOB regarding PwC’s communications with audit committeesthe Audit Committee concerning auditor independence, and the Audit Committee has discussed the independence of PwC with that firm. We have concluded that PwC’s provision to eBay and its affiliates of the non-audit services reflected under “Audit-Related Fees,” “Tax Fees,” and “All Other Fees” above is compatible with PwC’s obligation to remain independent.

We have also established procedures for the receipt, retention, and treatment of complaints received by eBay regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters and for the confidential anonymous submission by eBay employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters.

After reviewing the qualifications of the current members of

Based on the Audit Committee,Committee’s review and any relationships they may have with eBay that might affect their independence from eBay, the Board determined that each member ofdiscussions noted above, the Audit Committee meets the independence requirements of The NASDAQ Stock Market and of Section 10A of the Exchange Act, that each member is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, and that Mr. Anderson qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under the applicable rules promulgated pursuant to the Exchange Act.

Proposal 5 — Stockholder Proposal regarding Right to Act by Written Consent

Proposal Snapshot

What is being voted on. Stockholder Proposal Regarding Right to Act by Written Consent.

Board recommendation. The Board recommends a voteAGAINST the stockholder proposal based on the reasons set forth in eBay’s Statement of Opposition following the stockholder proposal.

John Chevedden, whose address is 2215 Nelson Avenue, Redondo Beach, California, has advised the Company that he intends to present the following stockholder proposal at the 2017 Annual Meeting. Mr. Chevedden has indicated that he holds no fewer than 100 shares of eBay common stock.

The text of the stockholder proposal and supporting statement appear exactly as received by eBay unless otherwise noted. All statements contained in the stockholder proposal and supporting statement are the sole responsibility of the proponent. The stockholder proposal may contain assertions about the Company or other matters that we believe are incorrect, but we have not attempted to refute all of those assertions.

The stockholder proposal will be voted on at the 2017 Annual Meeting only if properly presented by or on behalf of the proponent. Adoption of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy. Abstentions will be counted as present for purposes of this vote and therefore will have the same effect as a vote against this stockholder proposal. Broker non-votes will not be counted as present and are not entitled to vote on this proposal.

Proposal [4] – Right to Act by Written Consent

Resolved, Shareholders request that our board of directors undertake such steps as may be necessary to permit written consent by shareholders entitled to cast the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize the action at a meeting at which all shareholders entitled to vote thereon were present and voting. This written consent is to be consistent with applicable law and consistent with giving shareholders the fullest power to act by written consent consistent with applicable law. This includes shareholder ability to initiate any topic for written consent consistent with applicable law.

This proposal topic won majority shareholder support at 13 major companies in a single year. This included 67%-support at both Allstate and Sprint. Hundreds of major companies enable shareholder action by written consent. EBAY shareholder gave 46% support to this topic previously which means that the overwhelming number of shareholders who are well versed in the reasons for and against written consent supported this proposal topic.

Taking action by written consent in lieu of a meeting is a means shareholders can use to raise important matters outside the normal annual meeting cycle. A shareholder right to act by written consent and to call a special meeting are 2 complimentary ways to bring an important matter to the attention of both management and shareholders outside the annual meeting cycle. Taking action by written consent saves the expense of holding a special shareholder meeting. Also our company requires 25% of shareholders to aggregate their shares to call a special meeting – a much higher hill to climb than the 10% of shareholders permitted by Delaware law.

Please vote to enhance shareholder value:

We understand that corporate governance is not static – we monitor and evaluate trends and developments in corporate governance and compare and evaluate them against our current practices. The Board recognizes that some stockholders may view the ability to act by written consent as an important right. However, the Board believes that eBay’s existing Bylaw provision that provides stockholders with the right to call special meetings offers a transparent and equitable mechanism for stockholders to raise matters for consideration by the Company, whereas this proposal’s written consent right would enable a limited group of stockholders to act without the same required transparency to all stockholders.

The Board recommends that stockholders vote against this proposal because it believes the written consent process, as set forth in this proposal, is less transparent and less democratic than holding a stockholders meeting, and thus deprives stockholders of a forum for discussion or opportunity to ask questions about proposed actions. Matters that are so important as to require stockholder approval should be communicated in advance so they can be considered and voted upon by all stockholders. This proposal would allow a group of stockholders to take action by written consent without prior communication to all stockholders of the proposed action or reasons for the action. The Board believes that, if implemented, this proposal would disenfranchise stockholders who will not have the opportunity to participate in the process.

eBay’s stockholders have the right to call a special meeting at a twenty-five percent threshold, which is the most common threshold among S&P 500 companies that provide their stockholders with that right. This threshold is half of what would be necessary for stockholders to act by written consent under this proposal. Therefore, any coalition of stockholders proposing to act by written consent could call a special meeting. This right to call a special meeting, along with our established stockholder communication and engagement practices, provides stockholders with opportunities to raise important matters and propose actions for stockholder consideration outside the annual meeting process.

Stockholder meetings offer important protections and advantages that are absent from the written consent process under this proposal. The protections and advantages of stockholder meetings include:

The meeting and the stockholder vote take place in a transparent manner on a specified date that is publicly announced well in advance, giving all interested stockholders a chance to express their views and cast their votes.[MISSING IMAGE: ft_ebay-bw.jpg]

The meeting provides stockholders with a forum for open discussion and consideration of the proposed stockholder action.

Accurate and complete information about the proposed stockholder action is widely distributed in a proxy statement before the meeting, which promotes a well-informed discussion and consideration of the merits of the proposed action.

The Board is able to analyze and provide a recommendation with respect to actions proposed to be taken at a stockholder meeting.

In contrast, adoption of this proposal would make it possible for the holders of a bare majority of shares of eBay common stock outstanding to take significant corporate actions without any prior notice to the Company, the Board or the other eBay stockholders – actions that may have important ramifications for both eBay and its stockholders. This approach would effectively disenfranchise all of those stockholders who do not have (or are not given) the opportunity to participate in the written consent.


Proposals Requiring Your Vote |Proposal 5 — Stockholder Proposal regarding Right to Act by Written Consent

The Board also believes that eBay’s strong corporate governance practices make adoption of this proposal unnecessary. In addition to giving stockholders the right to call special meetings, eBay has many other governance provisions that protect and empower stockholders, including:

Annual Election of Board of Directors – All eBay directors are elected annually by the stockholders, and stockholders can remove directors with or without cause.TABLE OF CONTENTS

Majority Voting for Election of Board of Directors – eBay has adopted a majority voting standard for the election of directors in uncontested elections.

2024 Proxy Access for Director Nominations – eBay has adopted a proxy access bylaw provision that allows an eligible stockholder or group of stockholders to nominate candidates for election to the Board that be included in eBay’s proxy statement and ballot.

Majority Voting for Charter and Bylaw Amendments – eBay’s charter and Bylaw provisions do not have supermajority voting provisions — stockholders can approve binding charter and bylaw amendments with a majority vote.

No Stockholder Rights Plan – eBay does not have a stockholder rights plan (also known as a “poison pill”).

Independent Board Leadership – eBay has separated the roles of Chairman of the Board and CEO. The Chairman of the Board is an independent director – as are all of the chairs of the committees of the Board.

Stockholder Engagement – Stockholders can communicate directly with the Board and/or individual directors. In addition, management and members of the Board regularly engage with stockholders to solicit their views on important issues such as executive compensation and corporate governance.Statement35

In summary, the Board believes the adoption of this proposal is unnecessary because of eBay’s commitment to good corporate governance, the right of stockholders to call special meetings and the ability of stockholders to nominate directors through proxy access. The Board also believes that this written consent proposal would circumvent the protections, procedural safeguards and advantages provided to all stockholders by stockholder meetings.

The Board of Directors Recommends a VoteAGAINST Proposal 5.

Unless you specify otherwise, the Board intends the accompanying proxy to be voted against this item.

Proposal 3: Advisory Vote to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation
In accordance with the Compensation Committee

Message fromrequirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are asking stockholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as described in the Compensation Committee

Dear eBay Stockholder,

2016 represented eBay’s first full year as a standalone company following the 2015 Spin-Off of PayPal. During the year, under the leadership of CEO Devin Wenig, the Company made solid progress against its long-term strategic plan as it began to deliver on its commitment to drive the best choice, the most relevance and the most powerful selling platform.

At the same time, Mr. Wenig and his leadership team focused on building a values-based culture that is inventive, bold, courageous, diverse and inclusive. Our commitment to being a great company and a great place to work enables us to attract and retain talent.

We believe we are off to a good start. While there is still much work ahead of us, we are very pleased with the progress eBay made over the past year.

As the Compensation Committee of your Board of Directors, we remain committed to ensuring that the Company’s executive compensation program serves the long-term interests of our stockholders and is highly performance-based. The cornerstone of our program is pay-for-performance, and we believe that the executive compensation program ensures that our executives’ compensation is clearly tied to delivering results that align with the Company’s business strategy and objectives.

The Company regularly engages with stockholders to exchange views and, importantly, solicit feedback on our compensation approach. In 2016, some of us had the opportunity to participate in these discussions, which provided helpful insights as we consider the progression of our compensation program. Following our internal analysis and stockholder feedback, we believe that eBay’s executive compensation program continues to be appropriate and effective in driving strategy and aligning pay with performance.

The Compensation Discussion and Analysis, which follows, provides additional details about the Company’s compensation approach and decisions for 2016. We believe that our 2016 programs created the proper incentives and rewards for our executive officers while creating long-term value for our stockholders. We look forward to continuing to serve you in 2017 and encourage you to contact us with any questions or feedback.

How We Pay Our Executive Officers

Steve Priest, Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”)
Cornelius Boone, Senior Vice President, Chief People Officer
Julie Loeger, Senior Vice President, Chief Growth Officer
Eddie Garcia, Senior Vice President, Chief Product Officer

Executive Summary
Within our executive compensation program, we strive to align the interests of our stockholders and our executives. We also believe in creating incentives that reflect our pay-for-performance philosophy, both in periods of success and during years when our financial performance falls short of our targets. In our view, our compensation practices, including incentive compensation, play an important role in reinforcing our performance-driven culture. Despite significant macroeconomic pressures on discretionary spending across our major markets in 2023, the Company exceeded its short-term financial goals and continued to demonstrate significant progress toward its long-term objectives, due in large part to the strategies of and execution under Mr. Iannone’s leadership. Notable achievements of the management team in 2023 include:

Execution of our Focus Category strategy drove underlying growth in our business, as we continued to innovate for customers and expanded our global coverage to new categories and countries.

Revenue growth accelerated throughout 2023, aided by continued innovation in areas like first-party advertising, financial services, and new programs like eBay International Shipping.

Made significant investments in tech talent and marketing to support our vision and strategy, for the long-term health of our business, including making meaningful strides toward establishing eBay as a leader in generative AI for e-commerce.

Balanced our investments in innovation with prudent cost discipline to establish a strong foundation for sustainable, long-term growth, and created additional investment capacity through our structural cost program.

Generated strong cash flow and returned over $1.9 billion to stockholders, including $1.4 billion of share repurchases and $528 million paid in cash dividends

Managed our portfolio investments with the aim of generating stockholder value, including entering into an agreement for the sale of 50% of our shares in Adevinta for estimated cash proceeds of $2.2 billion in aggregate, which sale remains subject to closing conditions and is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2024.
Our Compensation Program
The objectives of our executive compensation program are to:

[MISSING IMAGE: ft_ebay-bw.jpg]

2024 Proxy Statement39
Base Salary reflects the scope of executives’ roles and responsibilities and compensates for expected day-to-day performance.
Annual Cash Incentive under the eBay Incentive Plan (“eIP”) aligns executive compensation with annual Company and individual performance and motivates executives to enhance annual results.
Long-term Equity Incentives include our PBRSU, PBSO and RSU programs, which align executive incentives with the long-term interests of our stockholders. Our executive compensation program is heavily weighted towards long-term equity compensation,

an annual cash incentive, and

base salary.

Ourincentives. In 2023, our equity grants for executive officers also participatewere structured so that, taking into account the full performance vesting periods, 60% of the target equity value is comprised of performance-based incentives (40% PBRSUs and 20% PBSOs), and 40% is comprised of time-based RSUs.


Performance-based Restricted Stock Units (PBRSUs) hold executives accountable for the long-term performance of the Company, and a three-year relative total shareholder return modifier focuses the executive on stock performance over the long-term.

Performance-based Stock Options (PBSOs) incentivize management to drive revenue growth in Payments and Advertising over a multi-year period, in line with our strategic initiatives, by providing for performance-based vesting. Additionally, including time-based vesting through the end of the performance period promotes retention and focuses the executive on stock performance over the long-term.

Time-based Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) promote retention since executives must remain with the Company in order to vest in the award and enjoy the growth in equity value.
How We Pay Our CEO
The following graphics illustrate the predominance of equity incentives and performance-based components in Mr. Iannone’s 2023 target pay mix in our broad-based retirement savings and benefit programs and receive limited perquisites.

The following graphs show the goals and results achieved for the 2023 performance period under the financial component of our eIP, which accounted for 75% of our NEOs’ award opportunities.
[MISSING IMAGE: tb_threshold-pn.jpg]
2023 eIP Financial Results
As discussed above, the Company performed above its financial target in 2023. FX-neutral revenue surpassed the threshold requirement of the eIP, and non-GAAP net income performance was above threshold and target performance. The CHCC then exercised its authority under the eIP to adjust the non-GAAP net income result for certain unforeseen impacts not contemplated at the time the target was set—interest income driven by rising interest rates and certain additional investment approved by the Board, as well as the impact of certain unplanned, one-time litigation expense—which resulted in a net downward adjustment. After accounting for the impact of the CHCC-approved adjustments, the Company financial component of the eIP paid out at 174% of target. In years when the Company’s financial performance is above threshold, a modifier is applied to the individual performance component to increase or decrease it proportionately based on the Company’s financial performance relative to target, by up to a maximum of 20%. Because the Company financial performance component was above target performance in 2023, the individual performance component was modified upward by 20% under the eIP.
PBSO Financial Goals and Performance
As a result of the Company’s 2023 financial performance in advertising and payments revenue under the PBSOs granted in each of 2022 (the “2022—2024 PBSOs”) and 2023 (the “2023—2025 PBSOs”), the first two of four performance goals were achieved for each of the 2022—2024 PBSOs ($1.65 billion and $1.80 billion) and the 2023—2025 PBSOs ($1.72 billion and $1.85 billion). Achievement of these goals unlocked 50% of the options underlying each of those PBSO awards, which remain ongoing and also subject to certain time-based vesting requirements over the course of their respective three-year performance periods (as described in further detail below under “2023 Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards—PBSO Program”).
For each of the NEOs other than Mr. Garcia, the exercise price for the 2022—2024 PBSOs is $57.71 per share, which was the closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the grant date of April 1, 2022. Mr. Garcia joined the Company in April 2022 and was granted 2022—2024 PBSOs on May 15, 2022 with an exercise price of $46.65 per share, which was the closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock on May 13, 2022, the last business day prior to the grant date.
For each of the NEOs, the exercise price for the 2023—2025 PBSOs is $44.37 per share, which was the closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock on March 31, 2023, the last business day prior to the grant date of April 1, 2023.
Say-on-Pay Results and Stockholder Engagement
In 2023, stockholders once again strongly approved our executive compensation program through the “say-on-pay” vote, with approximately 83% of the votes cast in favor. We regularly review our compensation philosophy and executive compensation program to assess whether it continues to be properly aligned with our business goals, culture and, importantly, stockholder interests. We also engage with our stockholders at least twice a year to solicit feedback on our compensation philosophy and executive compensation program. In 2023, the CHCC reviewed
[MISSING IMAGE: ft_ebay-bw.jpg]

2024 Proxy Statement41
our programs to assess whether our programs continue to support eBay’s business strategy. After conducting these reviews and considering the compensation design changes that we made in 2022, in addition to the feedback received from stockholders, including the results of the “say-on-pay” vote in 2023, we determined that the Company’s executive compensation philosophy, compensation objectives, and overall program continue to be appropriate. The CHCC determined for 2023 that the various elements of the program should remain in place.

2024 Proxy Statement43
We chose a mix of equity and cash compensation vehicles to compensate executive officers based on sustainable long-term value drivers of Company performance over one- and multi-year periods and individual contributions to the Company.
Our executive officers were also eligible to receive a comprehensive set of benefits, including:

health and welfare benefits plans;

employee stock purchase plan; and

broad-based 401(k) retirement savings plan and a VP and above deferred compensation plan (each plan is available to U.S.-based employees only).
Based on a security risk study conducted by an independent third party, we provide security to Mr. Iannone that includes personal use of the corporate airplane (occasionally with guests), as well as certain additional security and IT support that we also provide for our CEO, Devin Wenig,other NEOs. Because the costs of these measures arise from the nature of these NEOs’ employment responsibilities with the Company, we believe these measures serve important business purposes and illustratesdo not consider them to be personal benefits. However, to ensure we comply with SEC disclosure rules, we have reported the predominanceaggregate incremental costs of equity incentivesthese measures in the “All Other Compensation” column of the 2023 Summary Compensation Table below. The CHCC will review the scope and performance-based componentscosts of these security measures from time to time.
The Company does not grant bonuses to cover, reimburse, or otherwise “gross-up” any income tax owed for personal travel via the corporate airplane. We provide relocation assistance to executive officers, when applicable, and the Company reimburses executives for related taxes owed. During fiscal 2023, none of our NEOs received perquisites or other personal benefits except as described above.
[MISSING IMAGE: ic_2number-pn.jpg]   2023 NEO Target Compensation
When making compensation decisions for our NEOs, the CHCC evaluated each individual based on the individual’s leadership, competencies, innovation, and both past and expected future contributions toward the Company’s financial, strategic and other priorities. The Company’s performance was reflected in our executive compensation program.

Our 2016 Company Performance

As discussedprogram, holding leaders accountable for Company performance.

Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation
Each year, the CHCC reviews equity award guidance for each position and determines the value of annual equity awards accordingly. This guidance is based on our desired pay positioning relative to companies with which we compete for talent. The midpoint of the guidance, or the median target award, reflects the 50th percentile of the competitive market. The CHCC is also cognizant of potential dilution of our stockholders resulting from equity compensation and carefully considers share usage each year.
In 2023, the CHCC reviewed equity award guidance by position based on the following:

equity compensation practices of technology companies in our peer group, as disclosed in their most recent public filings (see below under “—Further Considerations for Setting Executive Compensation—Peer Group Considerations” for our 2023 peer group), and

equity compensation practices for comparable technology companies that are included in proprietary third-party surveys.
Each executive officer’s individual contribution and impact, projected level of contribution and impact in the future, and competitive positioning are considered using a scorecard when determining the size of individual awards. The scorecard evaluates each executive with respect to factors including business unit performance (or in the case of our CEO, Company performance), organizational development and strategic and operational excellence. The retention value of current year awards and the total value of unvested equity from previous awards are also considered.
Annual Cash Incentive Compensation
The CHCC also assesses annual cash incentive award opportunities against data from public filings of our peer group companies and general industry data for comparable technology companies that are included in proprietary third-party surveys, and it approves target annual cash incentive opportunities for our NEOs in a range around the 50th percentile based on that data. The CHCC reviews market data annually, and periodically adjusts incentive opportunities to the extent necessary where our practices are inconsistent with such market data.
Base Salary
The CHCC reviews market data annually and approves each executive officer’s base salary for the year, with increases (if any) generally becoming effective on or around April 1st of the year. The CHCC assesses competitive market data on base salaries from public filings of our peer group companies and general industry data for comparable technology companies that are included in proprietary third-party surveys. The CHCC assesses each executive officer’s base salary against the 50th percentile of the salaries paid to comparable executives at peer group companies and also considers individual performance, levels of responsibility, expertise and prior experience in our evaluation of base salary adjustments.

Target Value of Equity Awards, Target Cash Incentive Award and Salary for NEOs
The CHCC considered many factors in approving the various components of the NEOs’ compensation, including those set forth below, using a scorecard as described above. In evaluating performance against these factors, the CHCC assigned no specific weighting to any one of the factors, instead evaluating individual performance in a holistic manner:

Performance against target financial results for the NEO’s business unit or function

Defining business unit or function strategy and executing against relevant goals

Recognition of the interconnection between the eBay business units and functions and the degree to which the NEO supported and drove the success of other business units or functions and the overall business

Driving innovation and execution for the business unit or function

Organization development, including hiring, developing, and retaining the senior leadership team of the business unit or function

Achievement of strategic or operational objectives, including control of costs in an environmentally and socially responsible manner
The CHCC reviewed and approved the target value of equity awards, target annual cash incentive award, and salary for our NEOs based on available market data as well as the factors described above, including Company and individual performance.

Supplemental Transition Awards
For the NEOs who joined the Company in 2021 and 2022, their new-hire compensation packages included payments of supplemental cash compensation in 2023. These components were designed to entice the NEOs to join eBay, to deliver take-home compensation in the first years of employment approximating target compensation for their roles in our peer group and to compensate for value they forfeited when leaving their prior employers. These payments are typically subject to repayment upon termination of employment for cause or resignation other than for good reason, prior to the second or third anniversary of their applicable hire date, less 1/24th or 1/36th (as applicable) for every full month of active employment following their hire date. In 2023, the new NEOs received the following amounts in supplemental cash payments: $380,000 (Mr. Boone), $500,000 (Ms. Loeger) and $2,250,000 (Mr. Garcia).

Our executive compensation program is highly performance-based, with payouts for elements under the programperformance-based programs dependent on meeting financial and operational targets over one- and multi-yeardesignated performance periods. For 2016,2023, we selected financial metrics and targets that the Compensation CommitteeCHCC believes incentivize our management team to achieve our strategic objectives and drive the Company’s financial performance and long-term stock performance, including FX-neutral revenue, non-GAAP operating margin dollars, return on invested capital, relative total shareholder return, payments revenue, advertising revenue and non-GAAP net income.

2023 Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards
In 2016, we made great progress against2023, our key strategic priorities to drive the best choice, the most relevance, and the most powerful selling platform. To drive the best choice for our consumers, we actively managed inventory, marketed around key retail moments, and launched integrations with partners to help enable small- and medium-sized merchants scale their businesses on eBay. We developed and began to roll out new consumer experiences to deliver a relevant shopping experience that is built on our structured data re-platforming effort. We also made a number of platform improvements that are designed to build the most powerful selling platform, including launching our Seller Hub product, releasing a revamped set of seller APIs, and improving our listing flows.

Review of Elements of Executive Compensation Program; 2016 “Say on Pay” Vote and Investor Feedback

We conducted an extensive reviewpart of the Company’s compensation philosophy and executive compensation program for 2016 to assess whether they continued to be properly aligned with our business goals, culture and, importantly, stockholder interests. After conducting this review and considering the feedback received during the Company’s regular engagement with stockholders by management of the Company and members of the Board, we determined that the Company’s executive compensation philosophy, compensation objectives, and overall program continued to be appropriate. In addition, we decided to increase the weight of PBRSUs and eliminate stock options from the mix of equity for our executive officers.

In 2016, our stockholders once again overwhelmingly approved our executive compensation program through the “say on pay” vote, with 93% of the votes cast in favor. As a result, the Compensation Committee did not make any specific changes to the Company’s executive compensation program in response to the 2016 “say on pay” vote.

  Elements of Our Executive Compensation Program

The goals of our executive compensation program are to:

align compensation with our business objectives, performance, and stockholder interests,

motivate executive officers to enhance short-term results and long-term stockholder value,

position us competitively among the companies against which we recruit and compete for talent, and

enable us to attract, reward, and retain executive officers and other key employees who contribute to our long-term success.

To achieve these goals, we have three principal components of our executive compensation program: equity compensation, an annual cash incentive, and base salary. We seek to ensure that total compensation for our executive officers is heavily weighted to variable, performance-based compensation by delivering a majority of compensation in the form of PBRSUs and annual cash incentives.

Equity Incentive Awards

Beginning in 2016, we decided to increase the weight of PBRSUs and eliminate stock options from the mix of equity for our executive officers.

For 2016, once the value of thestandard annual equity incentive awards has been set for each executive officer, theaward. The formula used to allocate the 2023 annual target equity awards is as follows:

LOGO

Annual Equity Awards: Value

The value of annual equity awards is determined within guidelines that the Compensation Committee approves on an annual basis for each position. These guidelines are based on our desired pay positioning relative to companies with which we compete for talent. The midpoint of the guidelines, or the median target award, reflects the 50th percentile of the competitive market.

In 2016, the Compensation Committee approved equity award guidelines by position based on the following:

equity compensation practices of technology companies in our peer group, as disclosed in their public filings (see page 57 for our 2016 peer group), and[MISSING IMAGE: pc_awards-pn.jpg]

equity compensation practices for comparable technology companies that are included in proprietary third-party surveys.
[MISSING IMAGE: ft_ebay-bw.jpg]

The Compensation Committee is also cognizant of dilution resulting from equity compensation, and so it carefully considers share usage each year and sets an upper limit on the number of shares that can be used for equity compensation, including awards to executive officers and the overall employee population.

Each executive officer’s individual contribution and impact, projected level of contribution and impact in the future, and competitive positioning are considered when determining individual awards. The retention value of current year awards and the total value of unvested equity from previous awards are also considered. The individual awards can be higher or lower than the median target award by an amount ranging from zero to three times the median target award. The Compensation Committee limits the use of special equity-related compensation for executive officers to extraordinary circumstances only. In 2016, none of our NEOs received equity-related compensation beyond the standard annual equity award.


2024 Proxy Statement45
PBRSU Program

Plan Design and Performance Periods.

The PBRSU Program is a key component of the annual equity compensation for each executive officer. AtToward the beginning of each performance period, executive officers receive PBRSU grants that are subject to performance- and time-based vesting requirements.

Compensation Discussion PBRSUs are only awarded to executives at the level of Senior Vice President and Analysis |Elements of Our Executive Compensation Program

above.

Performance Period and Vesting
Each PBRSU cycle has a two-yearthree-year performance period (consisting of the average performance each year relative to the financial performance goals for that year), along with a total shareholder return modifier based on the Company’s stock performance relative to the S&P 500 over a three-year performance period. The financial performance goals for each cycleyear of the performance period are approved by the Compensation CommitteeCHCC at the beginning of the performance period.that year. Each executive officer is awarded a target number of shares subject to the PBRSU award at the beginning of the three-year performance period.

PBRSU awards granted in 2022 are based on the 2022-2024 performance cycle, and PBRSU awards granted in 2023 are based on the 2023-2025 performance cycle. If the Company’s actual performance exceeds or falls short of the target financial performance goals, the actual number of shares subject toearned under the respective PBRSU awardawards will be increased or decreased formulaically.

Underformulaically and then adjusted by the total shareholder return modifier at the end of the applicable performance period.

Prior to 2022, PBRSU awards were granted with a two-year performance period. Beginning in 2022, for the 2022-2024 PBRSUs and subsequently for the 2023-2025 PBRSUs, the CHCC used a three-year performance period, consisting of the average financial performance for each of three one-year periods comprising the respective PBRSU awards, based both on a desire to extend the performance period and to better align it with management’s annual financial planning, in light of the dynamic macroeconomic environment, and the constantly changing internet retail segment in which we compete. As a result of this change, there were no PBRSU awards vesting for our executive officers for 2023. As discussed below under “—PBSO Program,” in early 2024 our executive officers began vesting in PBSO awards based on 2023 performance.
Beginning with the PBRSU program,awards granted in 2022, 100% of any PBRSU awards granted to our CEO and CFOearned PBRSUs will vest, if at all, 14 months following the end of the applicable two-year performance period. This provision subjects 100% of the CEO and CFO PBRSU awards to a full three years of stock price volatility before the shares vest. For all executive officers other than the CEO and CFO, one-half of the PBRSUs vest in March following the end of the applicablethree-year performance period. Given their three-year performance period and the other halfprior to any vesting, 100% of the award vests in MarchPBRSU awards remain subject to three years of Company stock price performance before the following year, more than one full year followingshares are eligible to vest. The CHCC believes the completionlength of the performance period. The Compensation Committee believes that the post-performancethis period vesting feature of the PBRSUs provides anis important mechanism that helps to retainfor retaining executive officers, and alignwhile aligning their interests with long-term stockholder value.

To become eligible for a manner consistent with the current year budget and multi-year strategic plan. To receive anypayout of shares subject tounder a PBRSU award, at least one of the FX-neutral revenue or non-GAAP operating margin dollars minimum performance thresholds must be met. Each of the minimum performance thresholds are independent and, if any of the FX-neutral revenue or non-GAAP operating margin dollar performance thresholds are met, the award is adjusted with respect to that performance measure in accordance with the percentages outlined in the illustration below.above. If the minimum performance threshold for either FX-neutral revenue or non-GAAP operating margin dollars is not met, then no shares are awarded for that performance measure. At the time the performance targets were set, the target goals were designed to be achievable with strong management performance, while the maximum goals were designed to be very difficult to achieve.

The following chart shows the minimum, target, and maximum payout percentage for FX-neutral revenue and non-GAAP operating margin dollars:

   Minimum  Target  Maximum

FX-neutral revenue

    25%    50%    100%

Non-GAAP operating margin dollars

    25%    50%    100%

The number of shares awarded is determined by comparing our actual performance for FX-neutral revenue and non-GAAP operating margin dollars over the performance period against the minimum, target, and maximum performance levels and converting the result into a payout percentage. The FX-neutral revenue and non-GAAP operating margin dollars measures are then added together and this total is multiplied by the third measure, return on invested capital, with the modification multiplier determined in accordance with the table below:

   Minimum  Target  Maximum

Return on invested capital (modifier)

Time-based RSUs

As discussed above, each

Each executive officer receives a portion of his or herthe officer’s annual equity award as a grant of RSUs that vests quarterly, over a four-year period, subject to continued employment. RSU awards granted in 2023 to our executive officers vest over a four-year period, subject to continued employment. Beginning with awards granted on or after February 15, 2016, we moved from annual vesting over four years to quarterly vesting over four years. For newly hired executive officers, 25% of the initial grant of time-based RSUs vestvests on the first anniversary of the grant date of grant and the remainder vest on thevests quarterly schedule.thereafter. This changevesting schedule is aligned with the current market practices of many companies in our peer grouppractice and will help enablehelps the Company to remain competitive in attracting talent.

PBSO Program
Another component of the annual equity compensation for each executive officer is the PBSO Program. Executive officers receive annual PBSO grants that are subject to performance- and time-based vesting requirements. The PBSOs awarded to executives at the level of Senior Vice President and above were the only options granted by the Company in 2022 and 2023.
Performance Period and Vesting
Each PBSO cycle has a three-year performance period with four performance goals, and achievement of each goal earns the executive officer one-fourth of the officer’s option awards. The performance goals for each cycle are approved by the CHCC at the beginning of the performance period. Each executive officer is awarded a number of stock options at the beginning of the performance period, reflecting a target number of options to be unlocked if the first two of the performance goals are achieved, as well as additional options to be unlocked by achievement of the third and fourth performance goals, respectively. PBSO awards granted in 2022 are based on the 2022-2024 performance cycle, while PBSO awards granted in 2023 are based on the 2023-2025 performance cycle.
Under the PBSO program, stock options earned through performance are also subject to time-based vesting over the three-year performance period (subject to continued employment), such that one-third of the earned options is available to vest as of March 15 following each year of the performance period, with the initial vesting for each earned performance goal occurring on March 15 following the year in which the goal was achieved. The CHCC believes that the three-year vesting feature helps to retain executive officers and align their interests with long-term stockholder value.

Performance Measures and Rationale
The following table outlines the performance measures for the 2022-2024 and 2023-2025 performance periods and the rationale for their selection.

Annual Cash Incentive Awards (the eBay Incentive Plan (eIP))

Performance
Measures
Revenue resulting from Payments(1) and Advertising.(2) with a range of 0% to 100% vesting of option awards granted (50% at target and 100% at maximum performance)
Rationale
The CHCC believes these measures represent areas of revenue growth for the Company.
Both Payments and Advertising revenue are used to incentivize management to focus on the Company’s revenue growth, in line with our strategic initiatives.
Targets
The four performance goals, which are reviewed and measured annually for achievement, are generally set in a manner consistent with our strategic growth initiatives set forth at our 2022 Investor Day.
At the time the CHCC set these performance goals in early 2022 (for the 2022-2024 PBSOs) and early 2023 (for the 2023-2025 PBSOs), the target goals were designed for the first two tranches (50% vesting) to be challenging, achievable with strong management performance that delivers on our goals set forth at our 2022 Investor Day, while the maximum goals were designed for the third and fourth tranches (75% and 100% vesting, respectively) to be very difficult to achieve, requiring management to significantly surpass our stated goals. In setting these goals, the CHCC factored in macroeconomic headwinds and our internal forecasts at the time, including, in 2022, the ongoing war in Ukraine and lower consumer confidence influencing changes in consumer behavior, and in 2023, anticipated adverse impacts of foreign currency exchange and lower volume.

(1)
Revenue from Payments means all payments and financial services revenue from additional monetization efforts. To the extent applicable, this excludes the payment processing revenue related 100% to the GMV migration to the new Payments platform, which is now completed.
(2)
Revenue from Advertising means revenue from all existing advertising products, including promoted listings (and its products and promoted listings off eBay’s platform), third-party product offerings and any new advertising product or feature that the Company may launch during the performance period.
Calculation Mechanics and Timeline
To earn any stock options subject to a PBSO award, at least one of the performance goals must be met. Achievement of each performance goal earns 25% of the options, which then become eligible to vest subject to time-based vesting requirements described above. The CHCC reviews the Company’s financial performance following each year during the performance period to determine if any of the performance goals for the PBSO awards have been achieved during the prior year.
Each of the 2022-2024 and 2023-2025 PBSOs can be earned in a range of 0% to 100% of the PBSO grant, with a target level of 50%.

2023 Annual Cash Incentive Awards (eIP)
Plan Design and Performance Period.
The eBay Incentive Plan (“eIP”)eIP is a broad-based short-term cash incentive plan. The Compensation CommitteeCHCC has set an annual performance period under the plan.

The plan is designed to support a tight link between

In the first quarter of the year, the CHCC approves Company performance measures based on business criteria and any incentive payouts. The annual cash incentives payable for 2016 had both a FX-neutral revenue threshold and a non-GAAP net income minimumtarget levels of performance. After the end of each year, the CHCC approves the actual performance threshold. Unless both of these minimum performance thresholds are met, there is no incentive payout. If both minimum performance thresholds are met,against the Company uses total non-GAAP net incomeperformance measures to determine the payout percentage of the Company financial performance componentfor that portion of the annual cash incentive.

Additionally, if the minimum performance thresholds are met, 75% of executive officers’ payouts under the plan are based on the Company’s performance as described above. To facilitate differentiation based on individual performance, the remaining 25% of awards are based on individual performance. As discussed in more detail below, the Compensation Committee considers many factors in determining the CEO’s individual performance, but does not assign specific weighting to these factors. The CEO partners with the Compensation Committee to similarly assess the individual performance of the other executive officers. In circumstances where the Company’s financial performance is above its minimum performance threshold but below the target performance threshold, a modifier is applied to the individual performance component to reduce it proportionately based on the Company financial performance component. For example, if the Company exceeded the FX-neutral revenue minimum performance threshold but total non-GAAP net income was 90% of the target performance threshold, then the individual performance component would be calculated as follows: target incentive amount x 25% x individual performance score x 90%. The maximum payout for both the Company financial performance and the individual performance components of the annual incentive plan is 200% of target.

Performance Measures and Rationale.Rationale
The following table provides information on the Company performance measures set in 2016the first quarter of 2023 and rationale for their selection:

PERFORMANCE MEASURES(1)
RATIONALETARGET

Performance Measures(1)

Company performance measureRationale

Company financial performance measure

FX-neutral revenue (threshold)


(threshold-only)
The Compensation CommitteeCHCC believes that a minimum revenue threshold should be met before any cash incentive is paid. Once the minimum revenue threshold has been met, the Company financial performance component of the annual cash incentive payment is paid based on results in relation to the Non-GAAPnon-GAAP net income goal.Threshold is set based primarily on the Company’s Board-approved budget for the year.

Non-GAAP
net income(2)

Non-GAAP net income is thea key measure of short- and intermediate-term results for the Company given that it can be directly affected by the decisions of the Company’s management and provides the mosta widely followed measure of financial performance.Targets are set based primarily on the Company’s Board-approved budget for the year.

Individual measure

Customer satisfaction improvement (kicker)Improved customer satisfaction (CSAT) is expected to lead to revenue growth, and inclusion of the CSAT kicker confirms the Company’s focus on customers and key revenue-generating initiatives. The CSAT kicker can only apply if non-GAAP net income is at or above target.Targets are set based on achievable and meaningful improvement to customer satisfaction surveys.

Individual measure
Individual performance

The Compensation CommitteeCHCC believes that a portion of the compensation payable under this plan should be differentiated based on individual performance for which a review is conducted at the end of the year.

(1)year, including with respect to ESG factors.Both minimum FX-neutral revenue and minimum non-GAAP net income

CEO’s assessment of the individual performance thresholds must be met in order for thereof the executive officers who are his direct reports while assessment of the CEO’s performance is made by the CHCC with input from the full Board.

In making its determination of the individual performance of each executive officer, the CHCC does not give any specific weighting to be any incentiveindividual goals.

A modifier to individual performance is applied based on achievement of Company performance goals, regardless of individual goal achievement.
The Company modifier will adjust the individual payout based on Company performance orbetween a range of 80%-120%. For example, if the Company exceeded the FX-neutral revenue minimum performance threshold and total non- GAAP net income was 90% of the target performance threshold, then the individual performance component would be reduced by 10%. The base range of payouts for the individual performance component of the annual incentive plan is 0% to 200% of target, with the payout level forpotential upward modification of 20% when Company financial performance componentis at maximum.
(1)
Both minimum FX-neutral revenue and minimum non-GAAP net income performance thresholds must be met in order for there to be any incentive payout based on the amount of non-GAAP net income.

(2)Non-GAAP net income excludes certain items, primarily stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes, amortization or impairment of acquired intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, amortization of the deferred tax asset associated with the realignment of its legal structure and related foreign exchange effects, significant gains or losses and transaction expenses from the acquisition or disposal of a business and certain gains or losses on investments. Non-GAAP net income is calculated quarterly, is publicly disclosed as part of our quarterly earnings releases, and is a basis of third-party analysts’ estimates of the Company’s results.

Plan Mechanics and Targets. In the first quarter of the year, the Compensation Committee approves Company performance measures based on business criteria and target levels of performance. Targets are set based primarily onor individual performance, with the Company’s Board-approved budgetpayout level for the year.

The Compensation Committee also assesses annual cash incentive award opportunities against data from public filings of our peer group companies and general industry data for comparable technology companies that are included in proprietary third-party surveys, and it approves target annual cash incentive opportunities for our NEOs at approximately the 50th percentile based on that data. We review market data annually, but only periodically adjust incentive opportunities.

After the end of each year, the Compensation Committee approves the actual performance against the Company financial performance measurescomponent based on the amount of non-GAAP net income, and, if non-GAAP net income performance is at or above target, such payout level may be increased by the CSAT kicker.

Non-GAAP net income excludes certain items, primarily stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes, amortization or impairment of acquired intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, amortization of the deferred tax asset associated with the realignment of the Company’s legal structure and related foreign exchange effects, significant gains or losses, transaction expenses from the acquisition or disposal of a business, certain gains or losses on investments and impacts of acquisitions or disposals of businesses.

2024 Proxy Statement51
Calculation Mechanics
The eIP is designed to support a tight link between Company performance and any incentive payouts. The annual cash incentives payable for 2023 had an FX-neutral revenue threshold. If the minimum performance threshold is met, the Company uses total non-GAAP net income to determine the payout percentage for that portionof the Company financial performance component of the annual cash incentive plan. (from 0% for below threshold to 50% at threshold to 200% for maximum performance). If non-GAAP net income performance is achieved at target level or higher, the Company’s performance relative to CSAT goals could increase the Company financial performance component of the payout (by up to 10%, bringing the payout to 220% for maximum performance with the maximum CSAT kicker). However, if non-GAAP net income performance is below target level, the CSAT kicker will not apply. 75% of each executive officer’s target opportunity under the eIP is based on the Company’s performance as described above and, to facilitate differentiation based on individual performance, the remaining 25% is based on individual performance.
As discussed in more detail below, the CHCC considers many factors in determining the CEO’s individual performance but does not assign specific weighting to these factors. The CHCC consults with the CEO to similarly assess the individual performance of the other executive officers. Consistent with our commitment to aligning executive compensation with Company performance, the Company modifier will adjust the individual payout based on Company performance between a range of 80%-120%. For example, if the Company exceeded the FX-neutral revenue minimum performance threshold and total non-GAAP net income was 90% of the target performance threshold, then the individual performance component would be reduced by 10%. The base range of payouts for the individual performance component of the annual incentive plan is 0% to 200% of target, with potential upward or downward modification of 20% based on Company financial performance (bringing the individual component up to 240% for maximum individual performance and maximum Company financial performance).
Individual Performance
With respect to individual performance, our CEO presents the Compensation CommitteeCHCC with his assessment of the individual performance of the executive officers who are his direct reports and recommends a bonus payout percentage for the individual performance component of the annual incentive plan based on his assessment. The Compensation CommitteeCHCC reviews his assessments and payout recommendations, along with the scorecard evaluation and makes a subjective determination of the level of individual performance and payouts for each of those executive officers. In addition, the Compensation CommitteeCHCC (with input from the ChairmanChair of the Board and other independent members of the Board) makes a subjective determination of the individual performance of the CEO. In making its determination of the individual performance of each executive officer, the Compensation CommitteeCHCC does not give any specific weighting to individual goals.

Base Salary

Assessment and Target Positioning Strategy. We review market data and approve each For 2023, the executive officer’s base salary for the year. Increases generally become effective on or around April 1st of the year. We assess competitive market data on base salaries from public filings of our peer group companies and general industry data for comparable technology companies that are included in proprietary third-party surveys. When considering the competitive market data, we also recognize that the data is historical and does not necessarily reflect those companies’ current pay practices. We assess each executive officer’s base salary

These benefits are provided to enable the Company to attract and retain these executive officers. We periodically review the levels of these benefits providedteam set team goals related to our executive officers.

  Compensation Decisions for 2016

When making compensation decisions for our NEOs, the Compensation Committee evaluated each individual based on his or her leadership, competencies, innovation,carbon emissions, and both past and expected future contributions toward the Company’s financial, strategic, and other priorities. Under the leadership of Mr. Wenig, the Company made solid progress during the year against its long-term strategic plan as it began to deliver on its commitment to drive the best choice, the most relevance, and the most powerful selling platform. At the same time, Mr. Wenig and his leadership team focused on building a values-based culture that is inventive, bold, courageous, diverse and inclusive.

In addition, the Compensation Committee considered retention concerns as well as the total value of each NEO’s unvested equity awards. Based on its assessment, the Compensation Committee approved individual compensation arrangements for each NEO based on the factors and guidelines described above and in this section.

Determining 2016 Target Compensation for our CEO

The Compensation Committee takes a multi-year view of Mr. Wenig’s total compensation, with the objective of rewarding his leadership of the Company and tying his compensation to Company results and stock price performance. In doing so, the Compensation Committee has sought to focus Mr. Wenig’s attention on the longer-term performance of the Company.

The Compensation Committee considered many factors in setting the various components of Mr. Wenig’s compensation, including the factors set forth below. In evaluating performancesuccess against these factors, the Compensation Committee assigned no specific weighting to these factors and it evaluated individual performance ingoals was a holistic manner.

Providing leadership and vision to improve eBay’s position as a leading ecommerce player

The Compensation Committee also reviewed and approved the salary, target annual cash incentive award, and target value of equity awards for our CEO considering available market data as well as Company and individual performance.

The Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Wenig’s base salary and target annual cash incentive award remained competitive without an increase and that his overall cash compensation was consistent with creating an ownership culture by focusing his compensation mix on equity rather than cash.

In determining Mr. Wenig’s 2016 equity award, the Compensation Committee recognized the strength of Mr. Wenig’s leadership team, his focus on shaping eBay’s culture to embrace innovation, risk-taking and diversityfactor considered in the workforceCHCC’s subjective assessment of individual performance.

Summary of Target Value of Equity Awards, Target Cash Incentive Award, and Salary for other NEOs

The Compensation Committee considered many factors in approving the various components of the other NEOs’ compensation, including the factors set forth below. In evaluating performance against these factors, the Compensation Committee assigned no specific weighting to these factors and it evaluated individual performance in a holistic manner.

Performance against target financial results for the NEO’s business unit or function

Defining business unit or function strategy and executing against relevant goals

Recognition of the interconnection between the eBay business units and functions and the degree to which each executive supported and drove the success of other business units or functions and the overall business

Organization development, including hiring, developing, and retaining the senior leadership team of the business unit or function

Achievement of strategic or operational objectives, including control of costs

Driving innovation and execution for the business unit or function

The Compensation Committee reviewed and approved the target value of equity awards, target annual cash incentive award, and salary for our NEOs based on available market data as well as Company and individual performance.

The Compensation Committee determined that the target annual cash incentive award and base salary for our other NEOs remained competitive without an increase and that their overall cash compensation was consistent with creating an ownership culture by focusing the compensation mix on equity rather than cash. The Committee determined equity awards based on delivery against business metrics, financial targets and Company-level leadership. The decreases in the total target value of 2016 equity awards compared to 2015 equity awards for Mr. Schenkel and Mr. Lawton reflect the fact that each received equity awards in 2015 that recognized either a new position in the Company or a new hire grant.

LOGOLOGOLOGO

The performance goals for the 2015-20162023 eIP performance period and corresponding performance results above in the “Executive Summary.” The financial performance goals were set in early 2015, before the impact of the completion of the Spin-Off of PayPal and the sale of eBay Enterprise were known. In early 2016, the Committee modified the performance goals for the 2015 component of the 2015-2016 performance period because the Committee determined that it was appropriate to adjust the performance goals to reflect the impact of the eBay Enterprise sale. The Committee also modified the non-GAAP operating margin performance goal, which was partially based on the Company’s pre-Spin-Off hedging strategy for the combined entity, to account for foreign-exchange rate impact and certain costs related to the Spin-Off of PayPal.

The targets for the 2015-2016 performance period were lower than the Company’s actual results for the 2014-2015 performance period. This is because the actual results for the 2014-2015 performance period included the performance of eBay, PayPal, and Enterprise for 2014, whereas the 2015-2016 targets were based solely on the performance of eBay.

Following the end of the performance period, as part of its review of the Company’s financial performance against the PBRSU targets and in accordance with its authority under the plan, the Committee considered whether the impact of any significant corporate events not contemplated at the time the targets were set should lead to an adjustment of any of the performance result. The Committee determined that it was appropriate to adjust the calculation of return on invested capital for 2016 to remove the impact of a non-cash deferred tax asset related to a legal structure realignment.

LOGOLOGO

The performance goals for the 2016 performance period were set in early 20162023 based primarily on the Company’s budget for the year. Theyear, at which time the CHCC believed that achievement of the target Company financial performance goal for FX-neutral revenue is a minimum revenue threshold that mustgoals would be met for the annual cash incentive payment to be paidchallenging based on actual results in relation tomacroeconomic headwinds and our internal forecasts at the Non-GAAP net income performance goals. The target for Non-GAAP net income for 2016 wastime, including anticipated continued impacts of inflationary pressure and lower than the actual results for Non-GAAP net income in 2015 because the 2016 target reflected the anticipated foreign-exchange rate impact of a stronger U.S. dollar and certain Spin-Off related costs.

consumer confidence. In early 2017, as2024, the CHCC reviewed the financial results under the eIP, which were above threshold. As part of its review of the Company’s financial performance against the annual cash incentive plan targets and in accordance with its authority under the plan,eIP, the Compensation CommitteeCHCC considered whether the impact of any significant corporate events not contemplated at the time the targets were set should lead to an adjustment of any of the performance results. The Compensation CommitteeCHCC determined that it was appropriate to adjust non-GAAP net income to removeperformance for certain unforeseen impacts—interest income driven by rising interest rates and certain additional investment approved by the Board, as well as the impact of incremental interest expense fromcertain unplanned, one-time litigation expense—which resulted in a net downward adjustment. Accordingly, the Company’s 2016 offeringCompany financial performance component was certified by the CHCC at 174% of institutional and retail bonds and to eliminate the gain realized from de-designationtarget for all NEOs. This Company financial performance achievement also resulted in a 20% upward modification of certain foreign exchange hedges related to the realignment of our legal structure in 2016.

In addition, the Compensation Committee reviewed Mr. Wenig’s performance for the purpose of determining the individual portion of his 2016 annual cash incentive award, with input from the entire Board. The Compensation Committee did not assign fixed weightings to specific individual goals or performance criteria. Instead, it took a holistic view of performance during the year and the Company’s positioning for the future. The Compensation Committee considered the strong financial results in 2016 and the solid positioning of the core eBay business, StubHub and Classifieds. As a result, the individual performance component under the eIP. While the Company saw improved CSAT performance in 2023, the CSAT performance results were below target, so the CSAT kicker was not factored into the Company performance component.

The CHCC considered the factors listed above when assessing Mr. Iannone’s individual performance. Mr. Iannone’s individual component of Mr. Wenig’sthe annual cash incentive award was established at 150%120% of target and hiswas modified upward by 20% as a result of the above-target Company financial performance component. Mr. Iannone’s total earned annual incentive award for 20162023, including the Company financial component and the individual component, was 121.5%167% of target.

As part of its engagement in 2023, Pay Governance provided a market overview of executive compensation, evaluated the Company’s peer group composition, evaluated compensation levels at the peer group companies, assessed and proposed equity and cash compensation guidelines for various executive job levels, assessed compensation for the Company’s executive officers, advised on the framework for the Company’s long-term incentive awards, and assessed Board compensation. Pay Governance also provided guidance to the CHCC with respect to recent regulatory developments regarding executive compensation, including pay versus performance disclosure and clawback policies. Pay Governance does not provide any other services to the Company.
Compensation Consultant Conflict of Interest Assessment
The CHCC recognizes that it is essential to receive objective advice from its compensation advisors. To that end, the CHCC closely examines the procedures and safeguards that its compensation advisor takes to ensure that its services are objective. The CHCC has assessed the independence of Pay Governance pursuant to SEC rules and concluded that Pay Governance is independent pursuant to SEC and Nasdaq rules and Pay Governance’s work for the CHCC does not raise any conflict of interest.
Risk Assessment of Compensation Policies and Practices
We have assessed the compensation policies and practices for our employees and concluded that they do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. This analysis was presented to the CHCC, which agreed with this conclusion.
Peer Group Considerations
To set total compensation guidelines, we review market data of companies that are comparable to eBay and that we believe compete with eBay for executive talent, business and capital. We review both specific data from peer group companies’ public filings and general industry data for comparable technology companies that are included in proprietary third-party surveys. We believe that it is necessary to consider this market data in making compensation decisions to attract and retain talent. We also recognize that, at the executive level, we compete for talent against larger global companies, as well as smaller, non-public companies.
To assess whether the peer group continues to reflect the markets in which we compete for executive talent, the CHCC reviews and approves the peer group each year with the assistance of Pay Governance. In deciding whether a company should be included in the peer group, the CHCC generally considers the following criteria:

revenue;

market value;

historical growth rates;

primary line of business;

whether the company has a recognizable and well-regarded brand; and

whether we compete with the company for talent.

For each member of the peer group, one or more of the factors listed above was relevant to the reason for inclusion in the group, and, similarly, one or more of these factors may not have been relevant to the reason for inclusion in the group.
The CHCC evaluates the Company’s peer group on an annual basis with the assistance of Pay Governance. No changes were made to the peer group for 2023, which continued to consist of the following companies:

The payout level under the annual cash incentive plan could range from 0%-200% of target. The Company performance component (75%) of the annual cash incentive plan was based on the Company’s non-GAAP net income for 2016 (and the achievement of the FX-neutral revenue threshold) and paid at 112% of target. The individual performance component (25%) was based on each NEO’s individual performance score and the total earned annual incentive award for 2016 for eachobjective of our NEOs were paid at between 105.3% and 121.5% of target as follows:

  Severance and Change In Control Arrangements with Executive Officers and Clawbacks

Our objective in creating the severance and change in control arrangements described below wasis to provide fair and reasonable severance that wouldwill also serve as a retention incentive for those impacted by a change in control or similar transactions. We believe that these protections help the Company attract and retain highly talented executive officers.

In advance

Severance Arrangements Outside of the Spin-Off of PayPala Change in 2015, we adopted the eBay Inc.Control
Our SVP and Above Standard Severance Plan, as amended and Summary Plan Descriptionrestated (the “Standard Severance Plan”), together with the award agreements for our various forms of equity awards, cover officers employed as a senior vice president or in a more senior position, and the eBay Inc. Change in Control Severance Plan for Key Employees and Summary Plan Description (the “Change in Control Severance Plan”). In considering the protections included in these plans, we conducted a comprehensive review of protections provided to senior executives of our peer group and took into account the information about candidates’ expectations learned in the course of recruiting efforts in 2015 for talented senior leaders to complete our leadership team. When considering whether to enter into arrangements outside these plans, the Compensation Committee was also mindful that newly recruited executives were either leaving relatively secure employment arrangements or turning down attractive alternative offers and determined that these protections should be extended to certain, then-current executives in order to maintain internal alignment.

Severance Arrangements Outside a Change in Control

Severance Arrangements in connection with a Change in Control

The Company has not entered into any arrangements with any of its executive officersNEOs to provide “single trigger” severance payments upon a change in control.

The Company’s equity incentive plans generally provide for the acceleration of vesting of awards granted under the plans upon a change in control only if the acquiring entity does not agree to assume or continue the awards. These provisions generally apply to all holders of awards under the equity incentive plans.

The Company’s Change in Control Severance Plan providesfor Key Employees, as amended and restated (the “Change in Control Severance Plan”), together with the award agreements for our various forms of equity awards, provide severance protection for executives at the level of VP or in a more senior position in connection with a change in control if a participant is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason and signs and does not revoke a waiver of claims against the Company.

Clawbacks

The Compensation Committee hasCHCC adopted a clawback policy that covers each officer employed as a vice presidentVice President or in a more senior position and applies to incentive compensation, which includes any cash incentive award, equity award, or equity-based award paid or awarded to any covered employee during the period in which he or she is designated as a covered employee. For all covered employees, the occurrence of either of the following events is covered: (a) an action or omission by the covered employee that constitutes a material violation of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or (b) an action or omission by the covered employee that results in material financial or reputational harm to the Company. In addition, for covered employees that are employed as a senior vice presidentSenior Vice President or in a more senior position or a vice presidentVice President who is a member of the finance function, the following event is also covered: a material restatement of all or a portion of the Company’s financial statements that is the result of a supervisory or other failure by the covered employee.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis |Further Considerations for Setting Executive Compensation

Under the clawback policy, the Compensation CommitteeCHCC has the authority and discretion to determine whether an event covered by the policy has occurred and, depending on the facts and circumstances, may (but need not) require the full or partial forfeiture and/or repayment of any incentive compensation covered by the policy that was paid or awarded to a covered employee. The forfeiture and/or repayment may include all or any portion of the following:


Any incentive compensation that is greater than the amount that would have been paid to the covered employee had the covered event been known;


Any outstanding or unpaid incentive compensation, whether vested or unvested, that was awarded to the covered employee; and


Any incentive compensation that was paid to or received by the covered employee (including gains realized through the exercise of stock options) during the twelve-month period preceding the date on which the Company had actual knowledge of the covered event or the full impact of the covered event was known, or such longer period of time as may be required by any applicable statute or government regulation.

  Further Considerations for Setting Executive Compensation

Role of Consultants in Compensation Decisions

Pay Governance serves

Additionally, in 2023 the CHCC adopted a supplemental clawback policy, effective as of December 1, 2023, that complies with the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant. It providesnew SEC rules under the Compensation Committee with adviceDodd-Frank Act and resources to help the Compensation Committee assess the effectivenessapplicable Nasdaq listing rules. The supplemental clawback policy covers our “executive officers,” as defined in Section 16 of the Company’s executive compensation strategy and programs. Pay Governance reports directly to the Compensation Committee, and the Compensation Committee has the sole power to terminate or replace Pay Governance at any time.

As partExchange Act (including each of its engagement, the Compensation Committee has directed Pay Governance to work with our Senior Vice President, Chief People Officer and other members of management to obtain information necessary for Pay Governance to form recommendations and evaluate management’s recommendations to the Compensation Committee. Pay Governance also meets with the Compensation Committee during its regular meetings, in executive session (where no members of management are present)NEOs), and withgenerally requires (subject to certain exceptions) that the Compensation Committee chair and other members of the Compensation Committee outside of the Compensation Committee’s regular meetings. As part of its engagement in 2016, Pay Governance provided an environmental scan of executiveCompany claw back certain incentive-based compensation evaluated the Company’s peer group composition, evaluated compensation levels at the peer group companies, assessed and proposed equity and cash compensation guidelines for various executive job levels, assessed compensation for the Company’s executive officers, advised on the framework for the Company’s long-term incentive awards, and assessed Board compensation. Pay Governance does not provide any other services to the Company.

Compensation Consultant Conflict of Interest Assessment

The Compensation Committee recognizes that it is essential to receive objective advice from its compensation advisors. To that end, the Compensation Committee closely examines the procedures and safeguards that its compensation advisor takes to ensure that its services are objective. The Compensation Committee has assessed the independence of Pay Governance pursuant to SEC rules and concluded that Pay Governance’s work for the Compensation Committee does not raise any conflict of interest.

Peer Group Considerations

To set total compensation guidelines, we review market data of companies that are comparable to eBay and that we believe compete with eBay for executive talent, business, and capital. We review both specific data from peer group companies’ public filings and general industry data for comparable technology companies that are included in proprietary third party surveys. We believe that it is necessary to consider this market data in making compensation decisions to attract and retain talent. We also recognize that, at the executive level, we compete for talent against larger global companies,erroneously awarded as well as smaller, non-public companies.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis |Further Considerations for Setting Executive Compensation

To assess whether the peer group continues to reflect the markets in which we compete for executive talent, the Compensation Committee reviews and approves the peer group each year with the assistance of its compensation consultant. In deciding whether a company should be included in the peer group, the Compensation Committee generally considers the following screening criteria:

revenue;

market value;

historical growth rates;

primary line of business;

whether the company has a recognizable and well-regarded brand; and

whether we compete with the company for talent.

For each member of the peer group, one or more of the factors listed above was relevant to the reason for inclusion in the group, and, similarly, one or more of these factors may not have been relevant to the reason for inclusion in the group.

A part of its annual review following the Spin-Off of PayPal, the Compensation Committee determined that several financial services companies were no longer relevant for eBay as a stand-alone company and added several technology companies that it believed were relevant following the Spin-Off based on the peer group selection criteria noted above. The companies removed from the peer group were American Express Company, Capital One Financial Corp., Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., MasterCard Incorporated and Visa Inc. The companies added to peer group were Electronic Arts Inc., LinkedIn Corporation, Netflix, Inc., PayPal Holdings, Inc., salesforce.com, inc., The Priceline Group Inc., and Twitter, Inc. As a result of these changes,financial restatements and includes both “material restatements” and “little r” restatements (restatements of financials for a prior period to correct an error that would otherwise result in a material misstatement in the peer group consistedcurrent period, even though the error is immaterial as to financials of the following companiespast period when it was reported).

Impact of Accounting and Tax Requirements on


2024 Proxy Statement55
Compensation

We are limited by Section 162(m) of the Code to a deduction for federal income tax purposes of up to $1 million of compensation paid to our CEO and any of our other three most highly compensated executive officers, other than our CFO, in a taxable year. Compensation above $1 million may be deducted if, by meeting certain technical requirements, it can be classified as “performance-based compensation.” The annual cash incentive program was last approved by our stockholders in 2015. Under the annual cash incentive program, the portion of the awards attributable to Company performance is intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m). Certain grants under the 2008 Equity Incentive Award Plan, which was last approved by our stockholders in 2016, are also intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation.” Although the CompensationHuman Capital Committee uses the requirements of Section 162(m) as a guideline, deductibility is not the sole factor it considers in assessing the appropriate levels and types of executive compensation. Report

The Compensation Committee expressly retains the full discretion to forgo deductibility when the Compensation Committee believes it to be in the interests of the Company and our stockholders.

The amounts reported in the Stock Awards column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of time-based restricted stock units, or RSUs and performance-based restricted stock units, or PBRSUs granted to each of our NEOs in 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively,each of the applicable years, calculated in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation — Compensation—Stock Compensation. The grant date fair value of RSUs is determined using the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant, and the grant date fair value of PBRSUs is calculated based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant and the probable outcome of the performance measures for the applicable performance period as of the date on which the PBRSUs are granted. This estimatedgrant date fair value for PBRSUs is different from (and lower than) the maximum value of PBRSUs set forth below. Additionally, because the PBRSUs granted in 2023 are comprised of three one-year performance metrics, only one-third of the shares underlying these PBRSU awards were treated as granted in 2023 for accounting purposes. Similarly, one-third of the shares underlying the PBRSUs actually granted in 2022 were treated as granted in 2023 for accounting purposes. The equity incentive awards included in this column were all awarded under the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Award Plan, as amended and restated.

Additional information on all outstanding stock awards as of December 31, 2023 is reflected in the “2023 Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” table below.
Option Awards (Column (f))
The grant date fair value of PBSOs was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The determination of fair value of PBSOs on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of additional variables including expected life, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. For 2023, our computation of expected volatility was based on a combination of historical and market-based implied volatility from traded options on our stock. Our computation of expected life was determined using the simplified approach in which the expected term is based on the midpoint between the vesting date and the expiration date of the award, given the insufficient historical data relating to stock option exercises. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yields of U.S. Treasury securities with maturities commensurate with the expected life of the awards. The dividend yield assumption is based on our history and current expectations of dividend payouts. The weighted-average assumptions calculated for 2023 are as follows: expected life of 6.3 years, expected volatility of 32%, risk-free interest rate of 3.5%, and dividend yield of 2.2%.
PBSO awards provide an opportunity for our NEOs to earn stock options if certain performance measures are met within a 36-month period, subject to time-based vesting over the same period. For a description of the performance measures for the 2023-2025 PBSO awards, see “—2023 Compensation Design and Determinations—2023 Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards—PBSO Program—Performance Measures and Rationale” above.

All Other Stock Awards: Number of Shares or Stock Units (RSUs) (Column (j))
The awards reflect the number of RSUs on the grant date. RSU awards granted to our NEOs in 20162023 vest quarterly over afour-year period with 1/16th of the shares underlying the RSU award vestingbeginning on June 15, 2016, and additional 1/16th of the shares underlying the RSU award vesting each quarter thereafter.

Grant Date Fair Value (Column (m))

2023, subject to continued employment.

Grant Date Fair Value (Column (m))
The grant date fair value of each RSU award was calculated using the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant. The estimatedgrant date fair value of PBRSUs was calculated based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant and the probable outcome of theapplicable performance measures for the 2016-2017 performance period as of the date on which those PBRSUsthe awards were granted for accounting purposes.

Compensation Tables |2016The grant date fair value of PBSOs was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The determination of fair value of PBSOs on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of additional variables including expected life, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. For 2023, our computation of expected volatility was based on a combination of historical and market-based implied volatility from traded options on our stock. Our computation of expected life was determined using the simplified approach in which the expected term is based on the midpoint between the vesting date and the expiration date of the award, given the insufficient historical data relating to stock option exercises. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yields of U.S. Treasury securities with maturities commensurate with the expected life of the awards. The dividend yield assumption is based on our history and current expectations of dividend payouts. The weighted-average assumptions calculated for 2023 are as follows: expected life of 6.3 years, expected volatility of 32%, risk-free interest rate of 3.5%, and dividend yield of 2.2%.

With respect to Mr. Iannone, an involuntary termination includes a termination without cause or resignation for good reason. With respect to Mr. Priest, Mr. Boone, Ms. Loeger, and Mr. Garcia, under the Standard Severance Plan, an involuntary termination includes only a termination without cause, and under the Change in Control Severance Plan, an involuntary termination in connection with a change in control includes termination without cause or resignation for good reason.

For each NEO, equity elements were calculated using the following assumptions:
The values for RSUs were calculated by multiplying the number of unvested RSUs held by the applicable NEO and subject to acceleration, by the closing price per share of our common stock on December 29, 2023, which was $43.62.
[MISSING IMAGE: ft_ebay-bw.jpg]

642024 Proxy Statement
The values for PBRSUs were calculated based on target share payout amounts for ongoing performance periods for unvested PBRSUs held by the applicable NEO, except that, in cases where the performance period has ended, the final expected payout was used. This number of unvested PBRSUs (adjusted based on the expected payout) was then multiplied by the closing price per share of our common stock on December 29, 2023, which was $43.62.
No value was included for the PBSOs held by the NEOs, as the closing price per share of our common stock on December 29, 2023 was less than the exercise price per share for each of the outstanding PBSOs. Please refer to the “2023 Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” table above for the number of outstanding options held by each of our NEOs for which no value was attributed in this table.
Voluntary Termination (Column (a))
The Company does not pay severance benefits upon voluntary termination.
Change in Control (Column (b))
The Company has not entered into any arrangements with any of its executive officers to provide “single trigger” payments upon a change in control.
The Company’s equity incentive plans generally provide for the acceleration of vesting of awards granted under the plans upon a change in control only if the acquiring entity does not agree to convert, assume, or replace the awards. These provisions generally apply to all holders of awards under the equity incentive plans and do not provide for a “single-trigger” benefit.
The amounts reported in the Change in Control column assume that, in a change in control transaction, the successor entity would convert, assume, or replace outstanding equity awards. If the successor entity does not convert, assume, or replace any outstanding equity awards and all the unvested and outstanding awards are fully accelerated upon a change in control, the aggregate value of accelerated vesting of such awards (including dividend equivalents for equity awards other than PBSOs) to each of the NEOs that were executive officers of the Company as of December 31, 2023, for PBRSUs, calculated based on target share payout amounts for ongoing performance periods and final expected payout amounts for completed performance periods, and for all unvested and outstanding equity awards, calculated based on the closing price of our common stock on December 29, 2023, would be as follows:
(1)With respect to Mr. Wenig, Mr. Schenkel and Mr. Lawton, an involuntary termination includes a termination without cause or resignation for good reason. With respect to Mr. Fisher and Mr. Pittman, an involuntary termination outside of a change in control includes only a termination without cause, and an involuntary termination in connection with a change in control includes termination without cause or resignation for good reason.NAMEACCELERATION VALUE OF

The Standard Severance Plan, which covers officers employed as a senior vice president or in a more senior position, provides severance protection outside of a change in control period if a participant is terminated without cause (or resigns for good reason for Mr. Iannone) and signs and does not revoke a waiver of claims against the Company. Messrs. Iannone, Priest, Boone and Garcia and Ms. Loeger participate in the Standard Severance Plan. Additional termination benefits in connection with our NEOs’ PBSO awards are also provided upon a qualifying termination under the Standard Severance Plan.

The Company has not entered into any arrangements with any of its executive officers to provide “single trigger” severance payments upon a change in control.

The amounts reported in the Change in Control column assume that, in a change in control transaction, the acquiring entity would assume or continue outstanding equity awards. If the acquiring entity does not assume or continue any outstanding equity awards and all the unvested and outstanding awards are fully accelerated upon a change in control, the aggregate value of accelerated vesting of such awards to each of the NEOs that were executive officers of the Company as of December 31, 2016, calculated based on the closing price of our common stock on December 30, 2016, would be as follows:

Involuntary Termination outside of a Change in Control (Column (c))

The Company’s Standard Severance Plan provides severance protection outside of a change in control period if a participant is terminated without cause and signs and does not revoke a waiver of claims against the Company. Mr. Fisher and Mr. Pittman participate in the Standard Severance Plan.

Mr. Wenig, Mr. Schenkel and Mr. Lawton do not participate in the Standard Severance Plan.

CEO Pay Ratio
As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act, we are providing the following disclosure about the relationship of the median of the annual meeting and (b) an annual cash retainertotal compensation of $80,000 paid in quarterly installments (or, at the non-employee director’s discretion, paid in additional common stock of an equivalent value rounded upour employees to the nearest whole share). The annual retainertotal compensation of Mr. Iannone, our CEO. We believe that the pay ratio disclosed below is pro-rateda reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio allow companies to apply various methodologies and assumptions and, as result, the pay ratio reported by us may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported by other companies.
[MISSING IMAGE: ft_ebay-bw.jpg]

2024 Proxy Statement67
To better understand this disclosure, we think it is important to give context to our operations. eBay is a global commerce leader with operations requiring a wide range of talents and roles. As a global organization, we strive to create a competitive total compensation program in the event thatlocations we operate. As a director serves forresult, our compensation program varies by local market in order to allow us to provide a portioncompetitive total compensation package.
2023 Ratio Calculation

This year, the median employee’s annual total compensation was $160,007.

Mr. Iannone’s annual total compensation, as reported in the 2023 Summary Compensation Table, was $21,560,669.

Based on this information and the disclosures provided in this section, the ratio of a year.

Deferred Stock Units (“DSUs”) granted priorthe annual total compensation of Mr. Iannone to August 1, 2013 are payablethe median employee’s annual total compensation is 135:1.

In determining the annual total compensation of the median employee, we calculated such employee’s compensation in stock or cash (at our election) followingaccordance with Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K as required pursuant to SEC executive compensation disclosure rules. This calculation is the termination of a non-employee director’s service on the Board. DSUs granted on or after August 1, 2013 are payable solely in stock following the termination of a non-employee director’s service on the Board. Since January 1, 2016, RSUs have been granted in lieu of DSUs assame calculation used to determine total compensation for non-employee directors. Inpurposes of the event2023 Summary Compensation Table with respect to each of the NEOs. For purposes of this disclosure, we converted employee compensation from local currency to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate the Company used for 2023 internal budgeting purposes.
Identification of Median Employee
As permitted by SEC rules, for the past three years, we have used the same median employee because we do not believe there has been a change in controlour employee population or employee compensation program that would significantly impact the CEO pay ratio disclosure. As required by SEC rules, this year, we are identifying a new median employee using the same methodology as in previous years. To identify our median employee, we elected to use total target direct compensation which we calculated as salary, target bonus and target annual equity awards. We chose this compensation measure because we believe it is the most accurate reflection of eBay, any equity awards grantedpay at eBay.
We selected November 6, 2023 as the date on which to determine our non-employee directors will acceleratemedian employee. As of that date, we had approximately 12,400 employees, with approximately 7,600 employees located in the United States and become fully vested and exercisable.

The following table sets forth annual retainers paid to our non-employee directors who serve as Chairman4,800 employees located outside of the Board;United States. The pay ratio disclosure rules provide an exemption for companies to exclude non-U.S. employees from the Chairsmedian employee calculation in an amount of up to five percent (5%) of the Audit,company’s total number of employees, provided that, if a company excludes any non-U.S. employees in a particular jurisdiction it must exclude all non-U.S. employees in that jurisdiction. We applied this de minimis exemption when identifying the median employee by excluding 501 employees in 14 jurisdictions, as set forth below. After taking into account the de minimis exemption, approximately 11,900 employees (or 96% of the population) were considered for identifying the median employee.

Our calculation excluded the following approximate number of employees from the following locations: Belgium (4); Czech Republic (21); France (39); Hong Kong (10); India (96); Italy (71); Japan (158); Luxembourg (35); Malaysia (25); Mexico (9); Russian Federation (1); Singapore (21); Spain (3); and Thailand (8).
Pay Versus Performance
As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid and certain financial performance of the Company. For further information concerning the Company’s variable pay-for-performance philosophy and how the Company aligns executive compensation with the Company’s performance, refer to “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above.

The amounts reported in(“CAP”) excludes the Stock Awards column reflectand Option Awards columns from the aggregate grant date fair value of RSU awards granted in 2016.relevant fiscal year’s Summary Compensation Table total. The grant date fair value of each RSU award wasequity awards represents the total of the amounts reported in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year. The Rule 402(v) Equity Values reflect the aggregate of the following components, as applicable: (i) the fair value as of the end of the listed fiscal year of unvested equity awards granted in that year; (ii) the change in fair value during the listed fiscal year of equity awards granted in prior years that remained outstanding and unvested at the end of the listed fiscal year; (iii) the change in fair value during the listed fiscal year through the vesting date of equity awards granted in prior years that vested during the listed fiscal year, less the fair value at the end of the prior year of awards granted prior to the listed fiscal year that failed to meet applicable vesting conditions during the listed fiscal year and (iv) the value of dividend equivalents paid on stock or option awards in the covered fiscal year prior to the vesting date that are not otherwise included in the total compensation for the covered fiscal year. Equity values are calculated usingin accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, and the valuation assumptions used to calculate fair values did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of the grant or the Company’s approach to valuation employed in its financial statements.

For purposes of the above adjustments, the fair value of our common stockequity awards on the applicable date of the grant. Each non-employee director (other than Mr. Omidyar) providing service as a director through April 27, 2016, the date of our 2016 Annual Meeting, was granted 8,706 RSUswere determined in accordance with a value of $220,000 on such date. Such RSUs become fully vested upon the earlier of (i) the first anniversary ofFASB’s ASC Topic 718, using valuation methodologies that are generally consistent with those used to determine the grant date fair value for accounting purposes.
The table below contains ranges of assumptions used in the valuation of outstanding equity awards for the relevant fiscal year(s).

2024 Proxy Statement69

The Company has identified FX-neutral revenue as the company-selected measure for the pay versus performance disclosure, as it represents the most important financial performance measure used to link compensation actually paid to the PEO and the Other NEOs in 2023 to the Company’s performance. FX-neutral revenue was chosen from the following three most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to the PEO and other NEOs in 2023 to the Company’s performance:
Most Important Financial Performance Measures:

FX-Neutral Revenue (the company-selected measure)—broad topline financial metric reflecting GMV performance while incentivizing business development and growth

Non-GAAP Operating Margin—incentivizes operational efficiency and profitability

Non-GAAP Net Income—incentivizes operational efficiency and profitability while also reflecting capital structure and tax impacts
For further information concerning the Company’s financial performance metrics, refer to the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this Proxy Statement above.
Narrative
In the above “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this Proxy Statement, we discuss our pay-for-performance compensation philosophy and the elements of our executive compensation program, which are heavily weighted toward equity compensation. Reflecting our philosophy and the emphasis on equity compensation, the values included in the columns for Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and the Non-PEO NEOs in each of the stockholdersfiscal years reported above fluctuate year-over-year, primarily based on our stock price as of the Company that occurs after the grant date.

As of December 31, 2016, each individual who served as a non-employee director during 2016 held the following aggregate numbers of DSUs, RSUs and options:

The amount reported in the All Other Compensation column for Mr. Omidyar consists of that portionlast day of the premiums paid by eBaylisted fiscal year, among other factors, including Company financial performance relative to performance targets for health insurance coveragePBRSUs and PBSOs. As the table illustrates, the compensation of our PEO and the Non-PEO NEOs is higher when our stock price is higher, and lower when our stock price is lower, reflecting the CHCC’s intent to align the interests of our PEO and the Non-PEO NEOs with those of our stockholders. Further, because Compensation Actually Paid values are based on our stock price as of particular dates in accordance with the SEC rules, it is important to note that the values could have been substantially different if other dates were chosen.

As a result, we mailed to many of our stockholders the Notice instead of a paper copy of the proxy materials. All stockholders receiving the Notice will have the ability to access the proxy materials over the Internet and request to receive a paper copy of the proxy materials by mail.mail or email. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the Internet or to request a paper or email copy may be found in the Notice. In addition, the Notice contains instructions on how you may request access to proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronicallyemail on an ongoing basis.

This approach conserves natural resources and reduces our printing and distribution costs, while providing a timely and convenient method of accessing the materials and voting.

These shares include shares that are (1) held of record directly in your name, including shares purchased or acquired through eBay’s equity incentive plans and (2) held for you as the beneficial owner through a stockbroker,broker, bank, or other nominee.

What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

Most stockholders of eBay hold their shares beneficially through a broker, bank, or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. There are some distinctions between shares held of record and shares owned beneficially, specifically:


Shares held of record.

As a stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to eBay or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. If you do not wish to grant your voting proxy directly to eBay or to vote at the Annual Meeting, you may submit voting instructions via the Internet or by telephone by following the instructions on the Notice, and as described below under “How can I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?” If you requested to receive printed copies of the proxy materials, eBay has sent you a proxy card for you to use.

How do I obtain a paper copy of the proxy materials?

If you would like to receive a paper copy of our proxy materials, please follow the instructions included in the Notice.

How do I obtain a separate set of proxy materials if I share an address with other stockholders?

eBay has adopted an SEC-approved procedure called “householding.” Under this procedure, we are delivering a single copy of the Notice and, if applicable, the proxy materials to multiple stockholders who share an address, unless otherwise requested from one or more of the stockholders. This procedure reduces the environmental impact of our annual meetings and reduces our printing and mailing costs. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to access and receive separate proxy cards. If you reside at such an address and wish to receive a separate copy of the Notice and, if applicable, the proxy materials, including our annual report, you may contact eBay Investor Relations by mail at 2025 Hamilton Avenue, San Jose, California 95125, orby email atir@ebay.com or by telephone at (408) 376-7493 and we will promptly deliver a separate copy of the Notice and, if applicable, the proxy materials. You may also contact eBay Investor Relations if you would like to receive separate copies in the future, or if you are receiving multiple copies of our proxy materials and would like to receive only one copy in the future. Stockholders who hold shares in street name (as described above) may contact their broker, bank, or other nominee to request information about householding.
