Ebay Main Street...what is it?

[mykidzmom2]

I got this Ebay email (in Ebay messages) to come join Ebay Main Street. Here's the Email:

What do the words “international sales and exporting” and “Internet sales tax” mean to you?

To eBay, they mean a great deal, as they can greatly impact your business. When it comes to legislation on important subjects that affect your selling—like international trade and Internet sales tax—local, state, and federal legislators have the power to help, or hinder, your business.

To have a voice in this debate, join eBay Main Street.

Anyone else get this?  Joined? Know anything about it?

The last thing I need to something else to rile me up about Ebay...or waste my time.

I got it too. I deleted it. I can't think of anything that they could help me with, but that's just me.

You might want to join.

eBay Main Street is the eBay "political" arm that's opposing the internet sales tax. Among other issues. I get their emails, they're usually interesting and I've used the info to write my congressman and representative many times. They don't send a lot of emails, either.
