'Cause I'm the taxmanYeah, I'm the taxman. - The BeatlesAs millions of online shoppers have discovered, shopping online usually comes with a nice perk: no sales tax. But states are once again pushing Congress to close the online sales tax "loophole."It seems that every so often Congress takes up this issue and discusses whether or not online retailers should collect sales taxes on behalf of the states. The issue gets debated, goes nowhere, and things continue as they did before.When Congress takes up the issue again (which could be as early as this week), however, the results could be different this time.Most states are facing huge budget deficits, due to declining tax receipts from the downturn in housing, higher unemployment and a weak economy. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures (which is drafting the proposed bill), state sales ...

Cyber Monday was better for online retailers than most expected. But consumers were only interested in heavily-discounted goods. That’s why Andrew Snyder thinks eBay (NASDAQ:EBAY) is well placed to turn a profit this Christmas. It not only attracts bargain hunters, but also sellers desperate to raise cash. And better still, it has a balance sheet that most companies dream of these days.

During the Great Depression, financially devastated Americans sold turnips along side the road to make ends meet. Today, they merely boot up their computer and sell their junk online.

For proof, I called up an acquaintance that makes her living buying and selling on eBay (NASDAQ:EBAY). She answered the phone sounding like she had just spent the last 48 hours on a runaway treadmill. She was tired and grumpy.

“So how did Cyber Monday treat you,” I asked.

“It was insane. I have more orders than I can handle,” I

Initial holiday sales are encouraging, though it is questionable whether the momentum will last or if the discounts will end up hurting profits.

The National Retail Federation estimated that shoppers spent an average of $373.57 over Thanksgiving weekend, an increase of 7.2%. Store traffic was higher as well at 172 million, versus 147 million last year.

comScore calculated that Cyber Monday sales totaled $846 million, a 15% increase over 2007. Nielsen Online said that Monday traffic to online retail web sites was 10% higher.

For both traditional and online retailers, discounts were the name of the game. Stores marked down everything from GPS devices to Jimmy Choo shoes. And many observers, including Zacks' Senior Retail Analyst Rob Plaza, believe retailers will

Retailer in general and online retailers such as Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) rallied on Wednesday sending the markets upward for a strong finish to a lackluster day. Amazon moved 9.5% higher after comScore reported that sales online on Monday were 15% higher or $846 million more than last year on what is now called CyberMonday. November Still Weak The month of November was not as wonderful for online retailers as $12 Billion was spent during the 30 days which is a 2% decline compared to 2007 during the same period. Increased demand and door buster deals were explained as reasons shoppers returned in force over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend online and at traditional retailers. Other Tracking Companies Another tracking company called Hitwise found that traffic at most online retailers were down 1% compared to last year but the largest ...
