Raising fees to cover the new sales tax requirements for marketplace sites is baloney.
This is the COST OF DOING BUSINESS and is a tax write-off for these companies.
Shame on them. Especially with the fees and requirements they already impose upon their sellers. And the push to offer free shipping.
Shame. Shame. Shame.
