eBay: archaic trading laws are harming EU consumers

eBay launches lobbying campaign aimed at the European Parliament, arguing that EU laws damage trade. In a wonderful display of thumb suck sulking, eBay complains that traditional retailers are exploiting the rules to benefit their business. Well duh! A coalition of online traders, led by eBay, is set to start lobbying the European Parliament in order to press for sweeping changes to trading laws. Laws which, says eBay, restrict competition by restricting cross-border trading online.
