Why in the world would you ALL support more taxes?!?! WTF is wrong w/ you?!?! Study the Congressional voting record…start firing those NWO maggots. They are giving America to the UN…and the transition is becomming more blatant every day. See: Executive Order 13609….”Barry” gives the “keys” of his Kingdom to the UN. See: Agenda 21 (1992…GHW Bush). (See: Hilary and her “Small Arms Ban”…if it gets a 2/3 vote in the Senate…all hand-guns are gone…and any long guns capable of more than a 10 round capacity!!!
Stop these illegal wars!! Stop the Communist state he’s creating!! Stop any/more taxes!!!
Read, and learn what they are doing to all Americans!!!

Comment on Trio of Big Retailers Divorce Amazon Marketplace by Mark Bouchard

Mark Bouchard — Thu, 31 May 2012 14:23:31 +0000

It seems that Amazon will see what is a good selling item. Then all of a sudden Amazon starts selling that item below what we can get it for basically forcing us out of that market. This has impacted our sales dramatically and does not seem like a fair practice. We have built our business based on the volume created through Amazon and this has forced us to rethink how we operate. Unfortunately the amount of traffic through Amazon is nearly impossible to replace. Wish I had better options available as I have had to let some people go due to the lack of revenue.

Google is a large company and they will do whatever they want to do to. We can’t change that.

Of course the technologies replaced such thongs as pencils and notebooks, but did they really made children smarter. They began to think for them, so they give not only positive impact. I think that for the first time children should cost with things that were common a generation ago. Technologies have to help thinking but not replace it.

Yes, agreed. Google needs to make it a level playing field, so that the small businesses can compete.

I also own a couple of eCommerce sites and have to agree with the above post. With all the changes Google makes it’s hard for the little guy to keep up and compete with the larger guys.

I had been working with three eCommerce sites, seeing this happening right now, I decided to mention this to my clients and can you guess the responses I got from them, everyone wants to jump in and join Google Product Search.

I wish the requirements Google needed for joining in would be fair enough also for small and medium size companies so they will also have the chance of listing their products and services on Googles search engine instead of doing a lot of marketing works just to bring a customer to their shopping cart.

Billy washington — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 15:41:49 +0000

Typical US Government administration instead of cutting costs and spending they just cut the throats of little people trying to pay their mortgages and keep food on the table lets just raise taxes on the internet as much as 23% we can raise billions to send overseas and support those who hate us while we starve over here…. where does it come from the American people once again….. while big business just keeps asking for more and getting it small people people get the shaft… The backbone of america is the internet so lets just shut this down and we will have a system that no one can live in we can all go on welfare and small business can all go overseas to china…whats next a tax everytime you take a shit… our current administration sucks I hope everyone that voted this administration in now knows what change really ment..

Comment on China’s Alibaba Expands to U.S. with Vendio Acquisition by forexthisweek

forexthisweek — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 00:34:13 +0000

@ sally Rothwell ,I don t know where you get your facts from that Nigerians are the behind the scams being perpetrated on alibaba.com site .Let me tell you that am a nigerian living in the united states and i have been buying various items on ali express and alibaba for some time now without any problem ,infact there was an incident this year when my wife ordered human hair from a supplier on the same site and she had to return it because it doesnt look the same as the item she ordered ,the supplier is chinese, zghonghi liu ,by name and while we open dispute ,the supplier will neither chat nor return our emails to her and she will not acknowledge the delivery of the returned goods,but we noticed that alibaba removed her store from their site and to cut the long story short alibaba refunded our money about 3 weeks ago after a period of about six months of mediation between us ,and that gives them a lot of credibility.
You have to understand that every country has her own bad eggs ,i dont know where you hail from but its certainly very wrong of you to label nigerians as scammers the way you did ,and as far as am concerned alibaba is a legit site but that is not to say that the suppliers there are Angels ,it is left to you the buyer to select the good supplier to do business with.and mind you,Alibaba will NEVER release money to the supplier until you ,the buyer is satisfied ,so what ‘s your stress?

I own a small E-commerce site and I have noticed that it is even more difficult to compete against larger businesses with how Google is catering to them. Selling stocking stuffers on their product feeds now requires manufacture and UPC. Much harder to sell custom goods.

I am surprised at how many markets google gets it hands in.. With the google + and now this.

I actually am not a fan of Amazon and eBay, but I do like adwords. So maybe this will be a good change.

Boat Accessories — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 21:13:32 +0000

I own an eCommerce site and I can tell you that Google is getting too big for what they really are. The other end of the story is that Google now has new requirements for submitting products and its causing more problems for the small guy while the larger ones are doing fine. I retail boat accessories and the competition is crazy but it is completely clear that Google favors the larger sites leaving no room for the smaller ones like mine.

Comment on Glenn Beck Brings a Whole Different Kind of Values to Daily Deal Shopping by site value

site value — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 21:49:26 +0000

Struggling to maintain composure in front of 6,000 fans Glenn Beck disclosed that he had been diagnosed with a serious eye condition, macular dystrophy, a progressive genetic disorder that may lead to blindness. As he told his story he took a shot at health care reform, quipping that he “went to the best doctor I can find while I could still go to the best doctor I can find.” And sadly, all this best doctor that money can buy could tell him was that he would just have to wait and see what happens. At once, as he fought back his tears, Glenn Beck unwittingly became the symbol for millions of Americans, liberals and conservatives alike, who go to their doctor looking for solutions and leave in a humbled and hopeless frame of mind.

Comment on Are Online Sales Taxes Confusing Consumers? by Jermaine

Jermaine — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 20:10:57 +0000

There is a lack of communication between lawmakers, regulators and their constituents, not just about online sales taxes but many laws reguarding the internet. Many retailers are not informing shoppers about their tax obligations. Are they required to? If so, whose more at fault, the retailer or the shopper?

Comment on Social Media Integration a Growing Priority for Many Retailers by Razibul Hassan

Comment on Are Online Sales Taxes Confusing Consumers? by self defense products

self defense products — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 22:43:05 +0000

I own an e-commerce store and I think the whole concept of an internet sales tax is ridiculous. Brick and mortar businesses say its needed to “even the playing field”. In reality the playing field is already even, with the addition of a sales tax it tilts to the brick and mortar stores favor. The reason…shipping costs. The money that on line shoppers save in sales taxes, they end up spending on shipping. Now they have to pay both online sales tax and shipping cost. This is a clear advantage for brick and mortar stores. I’m glad most shoppers don’t know about internet taxes or refuse to pay them, however I worry that at some point the Gov. may try to force e-commerce stores to collect it for them.

Comment on Congress Eyes Federal Sales Tax Bill by wayne Addessi

wayne Addessi — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 02:32:06 +0000

I agree there needs to be a Federal Internet Tax until all States have laws that require all internet sites to collect taxes as we do in business on the ground. I would also emphasize the collecting a tax begins to bring taxes back to our Country and our States and communites. It’s not just about leveling the playing field for small business this is about a fair and open society. If I were to ship my packages/sales out of state then I would not be required to charge taxes on these goods. Let’s face it if you give an inch many will take a yard or more! Let’s support aFederal tax and then encourage all States to charge a sales tax, once this happens then a Federal tax can go away.

Comment on Congress Eyes Federal Sales Tax Bill by SRW

SRW — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 21:02:45 +0000

There is a simple solution: TaxCloud (http://taxcloud.net).

The statements by Ebay in the article confuse me. My company currently uses a PayPal checkout button that works with TaxCloud’s service so my business (with less than $50k in annual sales) already calculates, collects and remits sales tax for any jurisdiction in any state. It is simpler in most cases for my business to calculate and remit sales tax than to deal with shipping.

If my business can manage to collect the legally due sales tax for my customers, why is it so hard for Ebay?

Technology available freely on the internet (like taxcloud) is more than capable of handling sales tax calculation and remittance. Sorry everyone, the “too burdensome” argument carried merit in 1967 and in 1992 (when SCOTUS last ruled on this matter), but in the era of modern computing where Ebay maintains a dominant position, multijurisdictional sales tax calculation and remittance is easily accomplished.

So what is the real reason Ebay chooses to evade supporting your schools, hospitals, infrastructure, libraries, parks and so much more?

Comment on Walmart Plants Flag in China, Will Others Follow Suit? by Kevin

Kevin — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 02:27:44 +0000

I am an expat living in Shanghai. I use Yihaodian almost exclusively now because of convenience (they deliver to the door without a delivery charge), except perishable items. I have always wondered how Yihaodian makes money since items are comparable in price to the supermarket but they deliver next day free of charge (for orders over $15USD). Plus they have promotions like 10% off, daily specials, etc. Now I know, because of Walmart–Yihaodian is trying to grab market share and a high valuation based on revenue. It’s like the late 1990’s all over again, Amazon style.

Comment on Forrester Research Analyst Disputes F-commerce Potential by Sell on Facebook

Sell on Facebook — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 17:00:02 +0000

From the retailer’s perspective (we are on the software side) there is definitely an increased interest in selling through social channels. Many retailers are seeing success when they integrate their online stores with their Facebook page, even as a means to promote and spread deals/news – and since many people are interacting with those pages primarily to get deals in the first place, the ability to immediately purchase (with said deals/discounts) has lots of potential.

Comment on In Daily Deal Industry, Everyone Else is Looking up at Groupon by TJ Won

TJ Won — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 22:02:28 +0000

As a person that runs a deal deal site (don’t worry, I won’t shamelessly advertise it here , I find there just are too many daily deal sites to be registered to just one. I don’t use any one Daily Deal vendor. I like to use aggregators like http://www.yipit.com (in the US) and http://www.allyodeals.com (in Canada). More bang for your buck!

Comment on Indiana, Pennsylvania Getting a Boost from Amazon by ecommercejunkie

ecommercejunkie — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 20:11:38 +0000

Well said, Bill. The issue on the whole is definitely a slippery slope and we believe that most shoppers are probably like you and won’t change much if online sales taxes become standard. But until then, you can expect them to continue cashing in on the advantage online shopping provides, fair or not. Thanks for the feedback!

Comment on Indiana, Pennsylvania Getting a Boost from Amazon by Bill Sledzik

Bill Sledzik — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 16:59:10 +0000

As a consumer and frequent Amazon customer, I’m only too happy to avoid sales tax. But as a student and a teacher of ethics, I’m conflicted. The business that doesn’t charge sales tax has an unfair advantage — an advantage Amazon is protecting via economic blackmail. There’s something really wrong about that.

I shop primarily online for the convenience, price and selection. Adding 7 or 8 percent won’t change my habits.
