EBay shareholders seek details of Whitman deal
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Two eBay shareholders have asked the online auction company to release details of a confidential settlement it paid to a staffer who accused then-CEO Meg Whitman of pushing her.
The Republican gubernatorial nominee has acknowledged reaching a deal with the employee over the altercation three years ago.
The New York Times, citing anonymous sources, reported that eBay paid the staffer about $200,000 in an agreement that remains confidential.
In a letter obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press, the shareholders are demanding that eBay provide access to documents related to the agreement.
The shareholders are Michael Preston, a spokesman for the California Nurses Association, which opposes Whitman’s candidacy, and his husband, Michael Meyers.
EBay spokesman Alan Marks says company officials were unaware of the letter.

The good thing about Ebay is that everyone has an account with them, Ebay is very respected worldwide so these clicks will turn into sales. Also the profits your sites will make from the Ebay affiliate program are much more than from Amazon’s affiliate. |
