Amazon, eBay Called Out for UK Tax Practices

British media outlets have pounced on Amazon and eBay for how much the companies pay -- or don't pay -- in UK taxes.

This is seen as problematic because Amazon's European headquarters is in the tiny nation of Luxemburg, which charges the company just a 3 percent VAT.
