The originator of this thread registered about six minutes before his/her post, and he/she has not been back to provide follow up. Really inspires confidence in its veracity.

Well.....it could be a troll post.
But then.....
To the best of my recollection, the only licensing requirement in New York is in New York City. Unless it has been recently enacted, the State of New York does NOT have an auction license requirement.
However, many jurisdictions allow a party to sell OWNED property via the auction method, but o solicit and undertake to do so on a consignment basis, does require a license in many jurisdictions.

Be aware - in North Carolina the Auctioneer Board tried to make everyone selling on any online auction apply for an auction house license. Some big lawyers from Chicago came down to NC and kicked some southern behinds and they decided to think about it for awhile more. I myself called the head of the Auctioneer Board several times and had very long coversations with him about this. He finally contended that if you were selling stuff for other people, or buying things specifically to resell on Ebay that you should be a licensed auction house. However if you were selling your own junk or selling off duplicates that you obtained while completing your own collections he guessed that didn't quality. He left the "guessed" in there so they could always change their minds. The license is very expensive, you have to have a criminal background check and take a very hard test. At this point I said then gosh - all those people setting up their little yard sales every weekend down at the closed-up gas station must be running an auction house as well. You better run over there and make them get a license too. I guess the legislation decided they better do some more thinking about the whole thing cause I haven't heard much about it for about 4 months. Anyone in NC know what's going on with this?

If you spoke to the "head" of the auctioneer board, then you must also know he has no authority over anyone but Brick and Morter establishments.
He also has no authority to interpret the law without the express consent of the legislature.
This issue was handed over to the IT panel in the legislature. It will not be going anywhere for some time.
The auction law as it reads now states you are an auctioneer if you call the auction, set the increments, advertise the auction and collect funds for third parties.
Since internet auction users do not "call" the auction, nor set the bidding increments, these laws do not apply.
The only "wiggle" room they "may" have is, if an internet auction user is listing items on consignment. Then again, is the auction actually taking place in N Carolina, San Jose, since ebay claims jurisdiction is CA, where the servers reside or where the bidder is placing their bid from?

UPDATE: As I previously stated, I was going to contact the REAL OWNERS of that USERID on eBay. They have replied to me and are HORRIFIED at what has happened here.
I advised that I would post here that the original poster is NOT the same person at eBay and has performed an extremely MALICIOUS act upon the good name of these people.
Most likely these people cannot be located, but know this: What goes around, comes around!!! I teach my children this and I FIRMLY believe it.
I wish the true owner of that userid luck and hope that none of this affects them in their business.
Moderator, if it is possible, this entire thread should be locked & deleted, as it contains slanderous and erroneous information that could harm the reputation of the true owner of that userid at eBay. Further, if not already done, the original poster should be expunged from Auction Watch.
