In the above video, they go on to discuss the Marketplace Fairness Act.

Appearently Donahoe's argument is something like;

We want to treat sellers everywhere fairly, by screwing the ones who are brick & mortar, while ones in different states can get by without having to collect taxes.

and:

We want to protect small businesses, by raising the exemption so that big business qualifies too.

when asked about the technological improvements since the last revision or whatever of the law, and how it should not be difficult to administer for a tech outfit like ebay, he sort of sidesteps it again with an a=a, therefore it is b argument.

Then he goes on with a little FUD type argument about how any state might or could audit anyone in any state. They want to fight to protect those small sellers!

Hmmm. I wonder if ebaY and Paypal would be subject to such (or related) audits, should the Bill pass?
