Etsy Talks Tariffs, eBay Updates User Agreement

Etsy is taking a good look at how they can help both protect sellers and grow business with respect to tariffs, while eBay is making some big changes to their user agreement, mostly around arbitration. We'll also look at some issues with the eBay Facebook Marketplace integration, and eBay's new partnership with Checkout.com. And we've got a big what sold update too!
