| 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. |

Quote:Originally Posted by doog This is actually the biggest take-away. This impacts small, independent businesses and people who may be buying/selling collectibles like the majority of forum users. It massively complicates how to price items and figure out how to get the tax you collect to the appropriate place to cover you're own butt. |

| My understanding is that eBay will automatically collect the sales tax on purchases made. That's how I read it through their FAQ page. I know damn well that I won't be looking up tax rates for NY or KY or FL or wherever. Ohio taxes me into the damn ground, so I'm a little surprised they haven't jumped on this yet, but good on the state for raising the gasoline tax. The main thing I know is that the government (local, state, federal - doesn't matter which level) is always going to get its share one way or another. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Studley_DudleyThat's what I would hope, but, if you read the link I posted. It talks about you, having to set-up some complicated tax table for use and to "consult a professional tax accountant" to determine if you should do that or not and how. Ebay is only going to do what is the mandatory minimum and otherwise going to pass any organization burden onto the seller. |

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

Quote:Originally Posted by etapi65 Congress had been debating such a bill. If the Us Supreme Court ignored the Quill precedent they have this 100% wrong. As an individual who has never even been to some backwater state I should not be taxed for items sold there online. Once again the state is going out of its way to screw over small businesses. I can only hope that this gets challenged and the court comes to its senses next time. |

 If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8.

| Having bought a few things on eBay recently (none of the complainers here have?), the tax is collected and billed separately from your purchase. For example, I won an auction for $19.99. Shipping was $6 and tax was $1.72. I had two hits on my card, one for $25.99 to the seller and one for $1.72 to eBay. From the buyer side at least it looks like eBay is collecting the tax. | ||

| It was only a matter of time for the archaic tax systems to catch up with technology. Technically, in my state, you are supposed to pay sales tax on every purchase, a "use tax" they call it. If the merchant didn't collect the tax, you are supposed to declare it and mail it in yourself. With online shopping, nobody was doing this, so here we are. Amazon started collecting in my state, year before last I believe and Ebay just started in July... | ||

| It blows...I understand why taxes exist, however, the fact that I am now paying tax on purchases because I live in NJ isn't fair to others who aren't... And ebay is automatically collecting sales tax from my buyers as well |
