Ebay sales tax in place I think Ebay just started to add online sales tax to items bought on their auction site. This will affect me for the first time of 15 years of buying and selling on Ebay. I was surprised after bidding and "winning" the part I needed that another $13.00 was added to the final price . Surprised is the keyword as Ebay is should show the percentage you will be charged in the first place as they show what you will pay in shipping to your particular state or location. I was surprised enough to ask the seller about it and he also did not have a clue about the extra charge.Evidently it just started. Probably be more parts available now on Fordbarn swap sites etc,which is not a bad thing.

Re: Ebay sales tax in place So is this a federal tax or state tax? And if state, what happens if your state has no tax, such as mine?
|
Re: Ebay sales tax in place From what I have read this only includes 38 states that have state sales tax. Again Ebay needs to show up front what cost will be percentage wise per dollar bid instead of on the checkout. I probably have not bought my last item on Ebay but I think I have sold my last.

Re: Ebay sales tax in place Isn’t that “Taxation without representation” :)

The requirement has been in place for several months. Had a recent transaction which I received a refund for the product and also received a refund of the sales tax. |

Re: Ebay sales tax in place Yes it actually started about a month ago for some sellers

Re: Ebay sales tax in place It destroys the incentive to use on line ordering. Before we figured we would pay shipping instead of tax. Now its both. Back to the brick and morters. Its not just E Bay but all on line ordering will be taxed if your state has sales tax. It was a Supreme Court decision.
|
Re: Ebay sales tax in place In addition to e-Bay charging tax, so does Summit Racing. Tax was added to my last few orders from Summit. The states who charge sales tax took this issue to court and there was a court ruling on the issue. Summit has the ruling posted on their website. You should not be charged sales tax if you live in a state that does not have sales tax.

Ebay needs to know what state the winning bidder lives in before they can calculate the tax if any. Bob |
Re: Ebay sales tax in place Buy local. I know it doesn't always work.
Years back everyone cried how ebay ruined the swapmeets......now ebay has ruined itself and maybe the swapmeets will recover. |

Re: Ebay sales tax in place Not sure why this is being considered such a big deal. You have to pay the sales tax if you buy local as well. I don't like it, I don't like much of any tax in fact, but it is a state issue, not an ebay issue. Ebay, Amazon, Summit, etc have nothing to do with it, it is a major hassle factor for them. But again, your state is doing this, not them. If you don't like it work on getting your state laws changed.
