| A few states went active with sales tax earlier this year. A huge number were added in July and a bunch more are set for October. https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/fees-credits-invoices/taxes-import-charges?id=4121 | ||

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

| Maybe people will start selling more on the boards, and stop posting links to their Ebay auctions. I never understood that. Cheaper for both buyer and seller to do it on the boards. PayPal has you protected. | ||

| @PhantomEwan you are correct to a degree. Selling on the board is just for the people here. Selling on eBay is to, well, world. | ||

| Absolutely, but I have enough trouble getting stuff on here! See some of those flash sales. I just think trying the boards first makes more sense. Then of course if no takers you move to a different venue. Just my 2cents. | ||

So, now all the states are slowly working through passing law allowing them to collect from online sales. |

Quote:Originally Posted by PhantomEwanThese laws do not only apply to big business like ebay. They technically apply to any sales made on boards like this mycomicshop...etc... Enforcement becomes a issue for the states, whereas ebay is an easy target due to the scope. I'm still trying to figure out how to get this money they've forced me to collect to the state. Ebay's policy for certain states is "they have to make you collect the tax, but cannot make you pay the money to the state". For other states they state "Based on applicable tax laws, eBay will calculate, collect, and remit sales tax on behalf of sellers for items shipped to customers in the following states" Another way you know this is the state level. ZERO uniformity that would allow you to understand what you need to do to not get sued. |

| Found it again...it was South Dakota. This overturned 50 (and 25 years respectively) of precedent requiring a seller have a physical presence within a state to be required to collect taxes. Just one of many longstanding precedents that have dropped over the past 8-12 months. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/06/21/supreme-court-allows-sales-taxes-online-purchases/699556002/ |

Nuffsaid111 private msg quote post Address this user | |
| With every foul event or decision that gets made, I really try hard to see the other side and understand it. Typically I "get there". So on one hand I say... well.... if brick and mortor stores are subject to sales tax, then I guess internet stores should also. Then I think well... if brick and mortor stores and internet based stores are subject to sales tax, then I guess I should also. But then I say... hold on.... key word "Stores". I'm not a store. I'm not incorporated. I pull in diddly squat over the course of a year. So how is it that Joe Shmo weekend warrior indvidual is subject to the same state tax that a brick and mortor or internet based store that has incorporated? This makes me angry. Is this generally a republican or democratic push in the states (or both)? I've never gotten involved in politics but this one will make me boot out the jack masses as @drchaos states. |

If the US Congress had not passed legislation allowing this nonsense the states would not be allowed to tax those without a physical presence (The Supereme Court decided so in the Quill case). |

| Appears to be a conservative Supreme Court decision. I hate labels, I hate they have so much power. No physical presence is the whole point. Archaic system | ||

Donnied private msg quote post Address this user | |
| The supreme court does not make laws, such as tax creations or increases, they just rule on the constitutionality of the laws passed by the legislative branches of the federal government, or where interstate behavior is affected, by state legislative branches. States have been working on getting an internet sales tax going for twenty years, as soon as they saw the pool of money they could grab. If you believe that the government spends money efficiently, then you should be glad they go after every source of income they can steal from. If you don't, vote the dems out. |

| Don’t agree, Donnie’s, the 2018 Supreme decision overturned the 1992 Quill Supreme decision and other decisions that set the precedent. I know it does not fit into your philosophy, but this was conservative supremes overturning more liberal precedent. The conservative group (they are not dems) could have let precedent stand. Neither Party is even slightly efficient ( bubble popped) Sucks it affects eBay sales. |

Quote:Originally Posted by drchaos Please show me where Congress passed a law "allowing" this. Instead, a state, (in this case South Dakota) sought to levy a tax on interstate commerce. The Supreme Court allowed it. It made it to the Supreme Court because of the interstate issues, but there is no Federal law that was passed to "give" the states this ability. Blaming this on "Liberals" or "Conservatives is doubly stupid here. First, the Supreme Court is supposed to be above such labels. Second, since Nixon, the Supreme Court has been 5-4 republican appointees. |

| No one cared to discuss this back in April. I’ve been at a disadvantage on eBay for over 3 months now...I still sell ok, but my purchases have gone WAY down. Not because I’ve given up, but because I can’t bid as high as I used to because I have to factor in the tax on my bids...I’m basically waiting for eBay bucks and discount coupons to make big purchases now...the $15/15% discount coupons seem to have completely dried up and the eBay bucks offers at best are 12% (and you have to use the app) and are not frequent at all. Can’t wait until the majority of states join the insanity so the playing field will be somewhat even again. |

| Again, the Supreme Court did not create the tax, how hard is that to understand? All they did was not overturn a lower court ruling about the legality of a law, passed by the legislature. It was not a federal law, it was a state law, but since it affected interstate commerce it needed to be clarified. THE LAW WAS PASSED BY DEMOCRATS! | ||

| And declared constitutional by a conservative court, whereas in 1992 a more liberal court decided what was by all accounts the same law was not constitutional. You blame who your personal philosophy allows apparently. No clarification was necessary, precedent can, and often does rule. Made it worse, yet again, for the little guy, both sides!

Quote:Originally Posted by DonniedWhat law? Not sure to whom you're responding, bust since everything you wrote is wrong. The states have created these laws. Because of the interstate commerce component; 50 years of Supreme Court ruling precedents were overturned in the current court findings, indicating the states could do this. The particular state in question, South Dakota, is dominant Republican and has been for decades. And it's not close. The current make-up of the state is governor republican, all Senators and reps are republican, attorney general republican. At the state level legislature; senate is 30 R and 5D; state house is 59 R 11D. The justices on the Supreme Court that voted to allow this was 4 conservative justices (including both Trump appointees) and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. So, first, you're wrong...easily, verifiably, wrong. This case creating precedent was a law passed by republicans. BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER, because...Second, even if we picked another state with a different political make-up, they too are working on or have passed similar legislation, both parties in every state are essentially for this tax. They're losing hundreds of millions in tax revenue to online purchases, they want to get that money back. So....stop trying to distort facts to fit your political beliefs. This isn't MSNBC or Foxnews. Stop trying to make this a political fight. This is now state law, in nearly every state, and for those that haven't passed one, you can guarantee if they have a sales tax, this is coming. And the right to levy this tax is being supported by most recent precedent of the highest court, regardless of dominant party in said state and with a split Supreme Court that crosses lines of political appointment. Stop lying to yourself and then trying to pass those lies as fact. |
