1400503On November 7, in Stoner v. eBay,2 a suit brought against eBay under the California Business and Professions Code for violations of the California Penal Code prohibition against the sale of bootleg sound recordings, the Superior Court for San Francisco County ruled that section 230 - the Good Samaritan provision - of the Communications Decency Act, protected eBay from liability for users' offering for sale purportedly illegal music recordings. The court found that eBay is a "service provider" under the CDA, and therefore cannot be treated as a "publisher or speaker" of anything posted by "information content providers" - in this case sellers of purportedly bootleg music over eBay. On January 18, the California Superior Court for San Diego County ruled that eBay was not liable for purported violations of the California Business & Professions Code for the alleged sale of counterfeit sports memorabilia.7 This case began with an April 2000 class action complaint by purchasers ofHarmanBy compar-ing sales with the number of unique eBay IDs on our feedback listing, we are fairly confident that about 30% of our customers are repeat buyers."

In fact, its users and potential users can search the web using Google or Yahoo for any one of those brands, among oth-ers, and find multiple eBay sale listings, although those sellers aren't likely au-thorized online dealers for any of them--and neither is eBay.

The five shots are outtakes from a 1949 photo shoot that a few years later produced Playboy magazine's first centerfold. Butterfields is auctioning the five pictures as a set that it hopes will bring $700,000 to $1 million at a live and online auction March 22. Whatever the final sum, Butterfields says, the winning bidder will get a bonus: The seller, Tom Kelley Studios of Ventura, Calif., is including both the negatives and the model's release form signed by Monroe when she was just an ambitious unknown. That will enable the winning bidder to slap any of the five nude Monroe images on everything from beer cans to brassieres to billboards.

Prior to my current position at eBay, I had the privilege of being appointed by President Bush, along with Richard Clarke, to lead the President's Critical Infrastructure Protection Board, which represented one part of the overall governmental response to the threat of cyber security attacks in the wake of September 11.

They represent the essential information by which all citizens may understand the consequences of decisions made by public agencies. They allow the governed to hold those who govern accountable. To that end, these documents should remain where they are available for public inspection. As documents of all types have become increasingly collectible, the number of official government records appearing for sale through online venues such as eBay has grown. To protect the integrity of the public record and to ensure continuing public access to necessary historical documents, we respectfully request eBay's assistance in alerting its users to the ramifications of the sale of historical public records. It will help eBay customers to distinguish the kinds of records that should not be handled by private parties and PressPaperTemplateNo royal wedding would be complete without the commemorative souvenirs, but unlike previous weddings, Charles and Camilla memorabilia is now changing hands on eBay. However, if selling an unwanted tea towel progresses into online trading, the taxman might take an interest, warns top 20 firm of chartered accountants Saffery Champness. Ronnie Ludwig, Partner at Saffery Champness comments: "With the royal wedding fast approaching, many collectors are turning to the Internet as a convenient souvenir source. With its anonymity, eBay may seem like an ideal opportunity for budding entrepreneurs to make a fast buck and dodge the taxman. "However, if you trade royal wedding souvenirs on eBay, then tax may be due on your profits and a record of all transactions, virtual or otherwise, has to be maintained, or you risk landing in hot water with the Inland Revenue. Those trading on eBay for business purposes should make sure that they are fully aware of the potential tax implications."page42Online Catalog The best way to describe McMaster is to say that they carry everything you need to build anything. Items that you could normally only order through factory distributors, or materials that could only be ordered in large quantities, are easily available in any size and quantity, no matter how small. (No minimum order, either!) Their prices are excellent and they tend to only carry good merchandise. Amazingly, when I order stuff at 5:30 P.M., it arrives the next morn-ing with their normal shipping. But I use eBay all the time to find stuff for building projects.

On the other hand, eBay recognized the unique nature of the Internet and enabled both buying and selling online with spectacular results. Now, Amazon is trying to compete with eBay by facilitating selling and strengthening its affiliates program. To most people, Amazon is a retailer selling products to consumers and eBay is an auction house where consumers congregate to sell to one another. For instance, the only site to receive more visitors than Amazon during the 2002 holiday season was eBay. It is now well known that Amazon considers eBay to be its biggest competitor. The most common way to think of eBay is an auction house since the method used to sell products on eBay is mainly auctions.
