I got an email from ebay today. They are up to 34 states that they are collecting taxes for.

Blame the Supreme Court. We, as internet buyers knew it was only a matter of time..

Fortunately eBay is addressing the concern of their bidders.
Going forward the eBay Bucks program will be discontinued, but it is being replaced by their new eBay Tax Bucks program.

Yup - just another reason to use the BST and unlawfully dodge taxes. I am one of those people to which you refer. However, please feel free to rant and rail against those who defraud by trimming / altering cards and stealing from the "collector".

Might as well. The taxes basically negate any savings bonus from eBay Bucks offers.

and would have paid more but they had to account for 10% tax charge to their purchase. So for those it looks like, I paid for it!

both buyers thought I was charging them, had to explain to them that's it's eBay collecting and they're doing it for everyone. I don't think there's any debate that this is ultimately bad for collectibles and will result in lower prices. or at least in the environment of the last couple years, it will slow the increases dramatically. |

Good; it's time for a market correction.

Misplaced blame. Talk to your CT reps. They are the ones taxing you. Not the SC.

You can't blame eBay. They are just collecting the tax and passing it on to the local tax collectors.
Eventually, you will be paying taxes on all of your online purchases. Amazon is already collecting. It's just a matter of time until the IRS comes down on the AH's and they will also be collecting from the buyer. Just like death, shillers and card doctors, you can't avoid it. |

Blame may be the wrong word. but the SC did sort of change their minds on the issue and it was that decision that left the states free to pursue these taxes

Correct. The Supreme Court did make the decision, which had been debated for some time. The public was caught up in daily politics drama news and missed this important ruling news.
