Yesterday, a group of bipartisan Senators from states all across the country went down to the Senator floor to speak against the Internet sales tax amendment that was offered to the Senate Budget Resolution.  Like eBay, these Senators believe that it is unfair to allow small business owners using the Internet to become tax collectors for every state across America.  Small Internet enabled businesses should be encouraged to grow their business, create jobs, and contribute to their local economy,  not worry about tax enforcement agents a thousand miles away threatening them wit

Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) penned an op-ed this morning calling on Washington to protect small Internet enabled businesses from a new burdensome Internet sales tax regime.  Today, in the U.S. Senate, Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Mike Enzi (R-WY) are introducing an amendment to the Senate budget resolution that would be the first step towards creating a national sales tax mandate that would allow state tax enfocement agents from one state to impose tax burdens on businesses located in other states.

Yesterday the U.S. Supreme Court issued its opinion in an important copyright case, Kirtsaeng v. Wiley.

This is a great outcome for eBay sellers and a true victory for all American consumers and businesses.
