ONLINE TRADERS - The subject of online auctions and state licensing
as an
auctioneer is the issue of the New Year [new Millennium] and beyond!
Should
individual States impose legislation on online traders?
August 12, 1999 the New Hampshire State Board of Auctioneers
posted a notice in the Manchester Union Leader concerning folks selling
items for "others" at online auctions and via catalog, saying it was illegal
unless these folks were licensed auctioneers in NH
Thursday, August 24, 2000 Ref: N.H. Board of Auctioneers
Having spent the last four years of my life at online
auctioneering and recently hearing about the attempt to license online
auctioneering, I would like to be on the list of people that could be used
as a test case in this matter. Anyone with any common sense about interstate
sales, knows that this matter is not in the hands of the Board or the State
of New Hampshire. The laws of the Sate of New Hampshire are for the Residents
of New Hampshire and cannot be enforced on residents of other places. Perhaps
the Board is reacting in its own interest and should stick to their limited
field of old fashioned ways and self interest. Their position will only
create less respect by the people that they claim to protect. My stand
is that I will continue online auctioneering and welcome any opposition
Now that they have something to do but whine, Let the Courts decide.

1999 NH residents who use online auctions
to sell for others need to be licensed as an auctioneer.

Response by eBay to its Community:
North Carolina Auctioneers Commission has voted unanimously to temporarily
defer any further proposed action to impose licensing requirements
on sellers who use Internet trading sites and has referred the matter
for study to the existing Joint Select Committee on Information Technology
of the North Carolina General Assembly.
