eBay has given the Australian Taxation Office information including users’ contact names, seller user names, phone numbers, duration of membership and monthly sales turnover, says The Australian.
“One seller whose data had been requested by the ATO told The Australian the audit would help rid eBay of unscrupulous sellers,” says the story. “Donna Kelly … said that by not claiming GST on sales, some sellers were undercutting more legitimate operators.”
eBay Australia managing director Simon Smith, “said the ATO had requested data for the period July 1, 2003, to June 30 last year,” states The Age, adding, “The request was made a month ago and sellers were informed by email yesterday.”
