eBay versus Chicago

Internet

Retail

Internet auctioneer eBay is catching some heat from the Windy City. Chicago is suing the company over it's failure to pay amusement taxes. City officials say eBay and it's ticket-selling subsidiary StubHub failed to pay the 8 percent tax on ticket sales for sports events and concerts. eBay says the tax does not apply to it, but Chicago says yes, it does. The amusement tax ordinance specifically includes Internet sites that resell tickets.
