Interesting Auction Bytes article.
Once again eBay is sidestepping any legalities and passing the problems over
to the sellers:
One of the speakers, Clougherty said, was an attorney representing eBay.
Clougherty told the ED & A committee: "According to this attorney, eBay is in
the process of changing their agreements with all of their 212,000,000
registered users. eBay will no longer advertise themselves as an auction or
auction company and will discontinue the use of the word "auction" from their
online and paper advertising.
"One of the major changes to their selling agreements that will occur in 2007
is a requirement by eBay that anyone accepting consignments for auction who
holds themselves out to be an auctioneer, who participates in auctioneering or
who advertises that they sell at auction for a fee must comply with relevant
state statutes, especially licensing."
