Notice for Pennsylvania Trading Assistants:
On October 8, 2008, Governor Rendell of Pennsylvania signed a law amending the Auctioneer and Auction Licensing Act to include the Trading Assistant Registration Act, which went into effect December 8, 2009. If your business is located in Pennsylvania and you are selling personal property on behalf of others as an eBay Trading Assistant, you may need to take immediate action.
Pennsylvania Trading Assistants must register with the State Board of Auctioneers, which includes a $100.00 registration fee and a $5,000 surety bond.
