Requiring disclosures of personally identifiable information disadvantages small sellersMillions of small businesses, entrepreneurs, and casual sellers utilize online marketplaces to reach new markets or connect with customers down the street and across the globe. Requiring the disclosure of personally identifiable information of individual sellers could have potentially unintended and dangerous consequences for sellers, especially minority- and women-owned businesses. A one size fits all disclosure requirement favors big-box retailers who have a local store or an established e-commerce presence, and harms the small sellers who have thrived developing their online businesses.
