Got this email: Louisiana sellers - Protect your right to sell items on eBay Dear Community Member, If you sell more than two items a year on eBay, the Louisiana Auctioneers Licensing Board wants to force you to be licensed as auctioneers or auction businesses. You may have to pay a licensing fee, obtaining surety bonds, and submit a notarized copy of your voter registration card. All this just to sell a few items on eBay! Nearly every eBay seller in Louisiana is at risk. One Louisiana seller already shut down his eBay business. Unless we act quickly, thousands more Louisiana businesses may be at risk. Protect your right to sell items on eBay. Make your voice heard! Write your elected representatives today! Sincerely, eBay's Government Relations team Anybody else get this? La seems to strive to keep it's place as the $hi***iest state in the Union! Dave
I got the same e-mail. What a disgrace. Our lawmakers wasting time on E-bay auctions while South Louisiana is in ruins!!
Yeah I just got that message too, dem bastids. I sell all kind of stuff on eBay, and I haven't shipped one thing to another Louisiana resident yet. Here's contact info for: Mitch's co-conspirator- http://landrieu.senate.gov/services/offices.cfm Vitter- http://vitter.senate.gov/?module=contact/offices and the man, Bobby Jindal- http://jindal.house.gov/Contact/

It's just another pointless unenforceable law. They can't keep the crack dealers off the streets near my plant so how can they do anything about me selling a some used POS online? Don't bother wasting the stamps.
Good point, but it still bugs the hell out of me that they'd enact laws like that in the first place. Besides, emails and phone calls are free
Paul they can't but Ebay can and will. I went through hell trying to buy tickets for the Sugar Bowl in 2004
Let me get this straight about LA... public nudity is acceptable, and you can get a drink while sitting in your car at a "drive-thru bar," but you cannot sell on eBay?
It's not a "drive thru bar" it's a daiquiri shoppe . Let's make that clear and public nudity is only ok when you are a drunk, female tourist. Preferably between 19 and 27 with a flat stomach, belly button ring and maybe pierced ni ....... hang on I gotta get to that area on FCHAT that doesn't exist.
