Everyday lawmakers in Washington, D.C. and state capitals around the nation are debating legislation that could impact your ability to successfully run a business on eBay. These public policies range from retail price fixing (laws allowing manufacturers to set a price below which you can't sell your goods) or requiring you to collect & pay sales taxes on all of your out-of-state sales, to forcing eBay sellers to become licensed auctioneers (hog calling classes, anyone?).
We've read the bills and written the talking points. Now we want to hear firsthand — from you — how a law or other government regulation has impacted your eBay business. Or tell us how enactment of a proposed law could impact your business in the future. Thanks for participating and we look forward to hearing your story!
