This Inform Consumers Act apparently applies to NEW item sales —
From the eBay release:
“A high-volume seller is someone who has sold 200 or more new items totaling more than $5,000 in a 12-consecutive-month period over the last 24 months on our US site.”

I read other places that the word is “new condition” not simply “new.”

That makes a WORLD of difference.

I wish eBay had provided a THIRD “Exception” — I do not sell NEW Items.

Also, be sure to change the return address on your shipping labels to your eBay name or business name instead of your own name. I also use my PO Box address for my return address on the labels. I highly recommend getting a small PO box for that purpose. You do not want to advertise where all your inventory is kept, especially if you are running a business out of your home.

“Does the FTC consider marketplaces’ privacy more important than the privacy of individuals and small businesses?”

Does the government value multi-billion-dollar (and greater) corporations more than small businesses and everyday Americans? Does that even need to be asked? Of course they do!
