As many of you know, there are two bills pending in Congress that, if passed, would change the current Internet sales tax law to require all Internet retailers above the woefully-inadequate exemption level to collect sales tax on every purchase and remit it correctly across 9,600 state and local tax jurisdictions nationwide.  eBay, along with other organizations like WE R HERE, strongly oppose this legislation because of the impact it would have on small business job creators.  eBay believes in enacting policies that encourage small business competitiveness, not policies that hinder growth opportunities.

In an effort to stop this bad bill from becoming law, WE R HERE has circulated a petition opposing the two Internet sales tax bills. On Friday, they will begin delivering signatures to policymakers in Congress and we wanted to make sure that eBay Main Street members had a chance to voice their opposition too.
