California Democratic lawmakers are fast-tracking a bill aiming to crack down on resellers of stolen goods.
State Sen. Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley speaks at the Capitol in Sacramento, Calif., Tuesday , June 27, 2023.
The rules under the bill would apply to sellers who make at least $5,000 profit and engage in at least 200 transactions in a year. Nathan Garnett, general counsel of OfferUp, a mobile marketplace that connects local buyers and sellers so they can complete transactions in-person, said the proposal would significantly benefit big box retailers and cripple classified ad sites’ ability to do business in the state.In the case of OfferUp, its 11 million users in California would have to hand over their personal information before they could list something like a used coffee table or an old truck on the platform, Garnett said.
