eBay Seller in Oklahoma Raises Concerns with So-Called Marketplace Fairness Act

August 12, 2013

Hal Stevens, a small business owner in Edmond Oklahoma, recently expressed his concerns with the so-called Marketplace Fairness Act to his local newspaper.  In his letter, Mr. Stevens explains that the small seller exception included in the legislation is arbitrary and will not adequately protect businesses, like his own, from becoming “unpaid tax collectors” for thousands of jurisdictions nationwide.  Mr. Stevens also expresses his concern with how the Marketplace Fairness Act will affect his ability to grow, compete and create jobs in the future.
