Having said that, trying to regulate sellers on eBay is just ridiculous! It’s a truly bad idea and a bad precedent. Hopefully, it won’t get very far.

Good blog too!

I moved here (the Cleveland area) about seven years ago and am still constantly amazed at how much things are over-regulated here. We have more taxes than anyone I know of and the regulations for doing anything are just insane. I had to have an inspection when I put in a new water heater. I'm guessing that next year I will have to apply for a permit to cut my grass... </p> <p>Ron</p> I don’t think any legislation coming out of Ohio could surprise me.

Forcing eBay to comply with 50 differing sets of laws governing auctioneers would be interesting, though.</p> I think there’s a pretty good argument that the sellers on eBay are the consigners and that eBay is the auctioneer.
