This excerpt taken from the EBAY DEF 14A filed Apr 30, 2007. PROPOSAL 4
RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
We have selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or PwC, as our
independent auditors for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2007. We are submitting our selection of
independent auditors for ratification by the stockholders at the
Annual Meeting. PwC has audited our historical consolidated
financial statements for all annual periods since our
incorporation in 1996. 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 Bylaws do not require that the stockholders ratify the
selection of PwC as our independent auditors. However, we are
submitting the selection of PwC to the stockholders for
ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the
stockholders do not ratify the selection, the Board and the
Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain PwC.
Even if the selection is ratified, the Board and the Audit
Committee, in their discretion, may change the appointment at
any time during the year if they determine that such a change
would be in the best interests of eBay and our stockholders.
