Canada’s online shopping and auction giant, eBay Canada, will be rewarding the most productive and innovative entrepreneurs and small business owners who sell products through their website in their Sixth Annual Entrepreneur of the Year Awards.  Currently, tens of thousands of Canadians gain income through eBay.  Since eBay Canada’s launch in 2000, more than 114 million items have been sold through the website.

This year, three awards are up for grabs, the first being the overall Entrepreneur of the Year Award, which recognizes small business owners who have benefited greatly through their online sales using eBay.  Last year’s winner of this award, Shaun Shienfield, has used eBay to increase online sales of his premium pre-owned golf balls.  His sales has grown significantly, to the point where he has set up a call centre to meet demand.  Presently, Shienfield’s business is the largest online seller of pre-owned golf balls.

A new award for this year is the Innovator of the Year Award, open to eBay small business owners who make use of innovative practices to engage and attract customers to advance their online businesses.  Also unique to this year’s contest is the Family Business of the Year Award, which is open to eBay small business owners who work with one or more family member(s).
