The Globe and Mail is reporting that The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has won a court case seeking information about people who qualified for eBay's PowerSeller program in 2004 and 2005. According to the court filing e-bay members qualify for the PowerSeller program if they sell $1000 a month or more. There are 5 levels to the program with Titanium members selling in access of $150,000 a month and benefits include prioritized customer service, special promotions and sales tips. “The CRA is seeking to verify compliance with the obligations and duties under the Income Tax Act of certain Canadian taxpayers selling goods in an online marketplace,” said an affidavit filed in court by the CRA.
