[Mccoypottery-talk] Ebay size and sales.

[Betty Nelson]

I know many of you get the Auction-bytes news letter same as I do.  This is=
 the first parpgraph of the July 27 issue.

There are 34.1 million active eBay user accounts and 110,000 eBay stores wo=
rldwide. During the 3 month period of April, May and June, there were 225 m=
illion items listed on eBay, and eBay sellers sold $5.6 million worth of it=
ems (Gross Merchandise Sales) for those 3 months. (Wow, you sellers are bus=
y!)

That is a lot of sales tax that all state are missing out on.  No wonder th=
ey are trying so hard to find a way to regulate and tax sales.  Betty in Ia
