eBay has been a vocal opponent of Congress' plan to levy new Internet sales taxes on some of our favorite small business retailers (including eBay sellers and buyers). Since eBay VP Tod Cohen spoke out last week, many other companies and advocacy groups have joined the effort.
See below for just a few of the organizations that are joining the conversation about anti-small business legislation.
- Direct Marketing Association
