Australian Tax Office Investigates eBay PowerSellers
By Ina Steiner

September 16, 2004




eBay Australia sent members an email informing them that they have received a request from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) for information relating to members who were Australian PowerSellers from July 2002 to June 2003. According to the email, the ATO has defined "Australian PowerSellers" as members with registered addresses in Australia.

eBay supplied the government agency with the contact names, addresses, telephone numbers, and monthly sales figures, reporting that it is required to comply with the request and is allowed by its Privacy Policy.

A heated discussion is going on at the eBay Australia discussion boards.
