We awarded innovative sellers from around the world for their success across the eBay marketplace.
To celebrate our sellers’ achievements in 2025, we hosted a series of regional events to recognize the impact they’ve made across the eBay marketplace.
Recently, the HIS team hosted the Exporter of the Year 2025 (EoY '25) event in Hanoi, Vietnam, honoring sellers’ entrepreneurial drive and standout accomplishments in global exporting. The two-day event brought together 100 Top Sellers from Global Emerging Markets, including Eastern Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, India, and Southeast Asia, for connection, collaboration, and shared learning.
Across every winner’s journey, one theme stood out: unwavering praise for the eBay team. Sellers consistently shared how their business growth was directly shaped by eBay’s tools, programs, and problem‑solving support. From day one, they emphasized that eBay has been a partner every step of the way, helping them to adapt, innovate, and thrive in the global marketplace.
