U.S. District Court Judge Blanche M. Manning last week dismissed a lawsuit against eBay by the city that claimed the auction Web site is a “reseller’s agent,” which would have made the site liable for collecting the 9 percent (5 percent for many cultural events) amusement tax on resold tickets.
Way to go, Chicago. You greedy bastards.
Hey Harrisburg- maybe we’ll just start selling all of our tickets on Ebay….
