If you are a small seller on eBay or Amazon, you may not know it but Big Business is coming after YOU !!!

Earlier this week, two bills were introduced in the House of Representatives and one in the Senate that were written by lobbyists of the Big Retail Chains. All three bills target small eBay, Amazon and Website sellers. Supporters of the bills claim that shoplifters steal merchandise and then sell it on eBay and other venues. So the legislation would force eBay to force you to prove you purchased your merchandise legitimately.

Here is an example. Late last year Karen and I were at Costco and we saw Nautica track suits selling for $49. They still had the $119 original price tag on them. So we bought a few and tried them out on eBay. They all sold quickly at an average price of $90. So we went back and bought a few dozen more and continued to sell them. Now under this new legislation, a retailer (any retailer) could see my listing and direct eBay to investigate me to determine where I got my merchandise. And of course, eBay would have to terminate my listings until the investigation was complete.
