Can someone confirm/clarify this? Pennsylvania buyer
Seems like on Jan. 1st eBay will be collecting from me and 3 other states (can't remember the other ones) an additional 6% sales tax from any purchases on eBay I make, no matter what state I buy from via eBay/internet. Is this correct? I know maybe in theory this should have been happening but maybe the recent Supreme Court ruling firmed this up.
If so, I will have to curb my buying and I don't think it's fair that almost every other state does not require their buyers to pay this sales tax....., so am I just extra screwed cause I'm in PA (and the 3 or so other states)???? |
Sounds like you have it right. Technically, you should have always been paying that "fair use" tax. States are starting to mandate it because nobody ever did.

I am having difficulty seeing your point. You have been getting away with it for years so why are you complaining? You should have always been paying a use tax in Pennsylvania. Because you chose to violate the law and now you can’t you wish to complain? Don’t really see a valid argument from your end.

Seems to me, most states (in response the Supreme Court's recent ruling) have created this "new" law because the existing use-tax law is too challenging to enforce. |

Not a tax attorney
I've only paid tax from PA dealers on eBay. I am not a tax attorney and don't feel like I have to keep receipts on every purchase I make online, cards or otherwise.
