Today in business: 5 things you need to

1. EBAY TAKES OVER FIGHT ON INTERNET SALES TAXRecently eBay's chief executive John Donahoe sent an email to tens of millions of eBay merchants, requesting they write their representatives in Washington to express their opposition to a piece of legislation which would allow states to . Arguing that eBay merchants shouldn't receive the same treatment as a multibillion dollar retailer like Amazon, he wrote "[The Marketplace Fairness Act] may harm your ability to grow and costs jobs, including yours." Currently, companies with less than $1 million in out-of-state revenue would be exempt from changes. Donahoe wants Washington to compromise by defining a small business as making less than $10 million in out-of-state sales or having fewer than 50 employees.

5. RADIOSHACK HAS ANOTHER ROUGH QUARTERRadioShack reported an even larger than expected loss in the first quarter, as sales fell 7 percent to $849 million. Customers are buying fewer wireless phone contracts and more smartphones which are less profitable, and the once-thriving company continues to struggle with image problems. "I know we have some gaps and improvements that need to take place," CEO Joseph Magnacca told reporters.
