Comments on: New Ohio Law Requires eBay Sellers to Get Licensed and Post Bond http://www.theinternetpatrol.com/new-ohio-law-requires-ebay-sellers-to-get-licensed-and-post-bond Internet Safety, Windows Updates, Internet News, and More Mon, 01 Dec 2008 22:33:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Bob http://www.theinternetpatrol.com/new-ohio-law-requires-ebay-sellers-to-get-licensed-and-post-bond#comment-865853 Bob Sun, 02 Nov 2008 00:34:59 +0000 /?p=427#comment-865853 When an auction house sells items, the item is in hand and authenticated. They are a middleman, for a fee, to make sure the transaction occurs; buyer gets product and seller gets money. Everybody is happy. Ebay and the like, as middleman, should be held to the same standards as the auction house by requiring the establishment of an escrow type clearinghouse where authenticated product and legal tender are exchanged and sent to the respective buyer and seller. This would also minimize the amount of stolen and counterfeit product that is sold on Ebay. Ohio needs to apply their new law to Ebay, and not the lowly seller, by requiring a clearinghouse within their borders. When an auction house sells items, the item is in hand and authenticated.

The more likely your competition (be it another business, state or country) will be thanking you for the business!!! I am sure the ebayers in our border states are saying: "Thank You For Your Support!!!" And to the idiots who put this law into efftect: "Here's Your Sign!!!" Basic Law of Business & Retail:

Hate Ohio. It is an absolutely crooked state. Just wanted to get that out. If eBay doesn't mount a fight against this, then it must be because they are looking for some kind of advantage out of it for themselves. I look around and everywhere I see the same thing - that every part of life is being deferred to big business. I doubt eBay is an exception. If this law works to exclude individual sellers and "small-timers", then that means another area of freedom is swiped by the "big-timers". It means the dissapprearance of the freedom of negotiation for people. Everything you buy will have a price you have no negotiative power over as an individual - not if it's sold buy corporations and they control the price and the terms of evertything. well, that's the theme I see with this bit of political chicanery, and if eBay isn't resisting it either. If their not against it, then they are complicit, and they want a peice of the big actiuon themselves, that of wrestling the little guy out of any negotiative power he or she may have in this world.

I live in Ohio and have been selling for years. I look at this new law and think to myself WTF. I guess the part that really gets me is Where is E-Bay on this law they have had no response to this BS as far as I know? I have paid a lot of fees over the years!! They make MILLIONS a day and they must have a really good Law team. How can Ebay sit there and just watch the loss of income from all the states looking at this new law? I think that ebay should start a lobbying effort in DC I can't believe that the shareholders would sit there and watch their profits decrease as the new laws go into affect. Ebay increases fees all the time. And now I think it is time to step up to the plate and start earning it. HELP IN OHIO!!! WoW I feel so much better... lol Thank you all!!!

They're trying to get similar law in Tennesse and Illinois. I think they tried and failed in South Carolina too...What is going on...Seems Nuts!

Some people sell just to make a little bit of money....not because they have a business. If i want a little extra cash, i should not have to go to auction school and be an apprentice.
