Summary from a post on slashdot:

MacDork writes "CNNMoney posted a short article this morning about new Ohio regulations set to become effective May 2 this year. If you are in the state and selling on eBay, you will need to pay $200 for a license and post a $50,000 bond or face possible fines and jail time. Getting the license also requires a one-year apprenticeship. When asked to which eBay users this bill applied, the bill's author, Larry Mumper responded with these very specific guidelines.... 'It certainly will not apply to the casual seller on eBay, but might apply to anyone who sells a lot.'"

Now my rant will begin:
What the hell is wrong with this guy? This bill will only hurt the honest (read: non-scammer) eBay users, whom this bill is intended to protect, and have no effect what-so-ever on the users (read: scammers) causing the problems. I am in complete agreement with WCMI92 who said, "Governments so often believe they can wave a piece of paper and behavior stops. Just like gun control, this will never stop a scammer but will punish the honest." This is IMHO 100% true... a scammer is already doing something illegal, so why would hey/she think twice about selling on eBay without a license? I'm moving to a Blue State!

Seller Feedback:
A++++++ A$$-bag! Would recommend this politician to pander you and waste more of YOUR money!
