Chilling.
I expect there will be smaller ecommerce sites that will close as well.
This is because some of these laws, including the inform act, put the resp. On the marketplace vs the payment provider.. What else is out there. Make a list. Ask the venue to confirm they are gonna support it. No response = you might get cut also.
This is sad and the reason why we opted for an assisted Classified Model for hobbyDB.com. 620,000 members, around 4,000 sellers and low fees between 2-5%. This is an open-invitation for Delcampe sellers to join us. Email us as SUPPORT AT HOBBYDB DOT COM,
As I read this, Delcampe is closing down. It is suspending users in about 20 states. In other words, those sellers cannot sell on its site.
