I saw this on a different board. Thought I would bring it to the attention of this board in case there are any North Dakota residents here that sell on ebay. |

OT - Watch out ND residents
Posted By: warshawlaw
Since it is obvious that if cleaning up e-commerce was the goal of the regulations, the government would do a lot more for the public good a lot faster by enforcing existing criminal and civil fraud laws against the crooks who are not likely to comply with a regulation registration scheme in the first place, the real reason behind these regulatory schemes is revenue, not policing. States have been eyeing internet commerce for years as a source of revenues. Current sales tax law is ill-suited to fully tapping it and Congress has been very fast (at the behest of their corporate sponsors) to use the Interstate Commerce Clause to mostly carve internet business out of the states' financial grasps on the basis that the medium is new and needs protection to grow. |

But wouldn't ebay be the actual auctioneer, with the seller merely being a consignor? |

If anyone in the ND legislature bothered to read the fine print of all the cosignment sellers on eBay, they call themselves bailees. We do. eBay is not or sole source selling items either. We will sell items thru whatever venue we think will generate the most money. In some cases, this is not eBay. Also, given that there are options for BIN or store listings, how can they claim that consignment sellers are auctioneers. The auctions don't resemble traditional auctions. I would think that offering a BIN would immediately nullify the notion of an auction since there is an aotion to buy the item outright. Then again, the law common sense don't meet too often. |

Generally ebay sales will be exempted from sales tax thanks to the Commerce Clause which states a seller must have a physical presence in the state to collect sales tax. Oddly enough, the landmark case in deciding mimimal physical presence (called nexus) was Quill Corp v ND. |
