Business is always a battlefield, but few e-commerce proponents have fought campaigns as fierce as those to keep Internet auctioning license-free.
So intense have been skirmishes between online sellers and state legislators that only one state has a law specifically requiring online auctioneer licensing.
According to the National Auctioneers Association ('NAA'), 33 states and the District of Columbia have state auctioneer-licensing laws. Some of those 33 states have laws that exempt Internet auctions from licensing.
