Can anyone from Iowa confirm if ebay is now adding sales tax to their out of state ebay purchases?
I had a recent buyer from IA that appears to have had a 6% sales tax added to their order. Ebay appears to now be collecting and remitting sales tax the same way as they do with orders from WA state. On my end, nothing shows in PP, however, when viewing my ebay orders on the ebay Manage Orders screen, the "total" sale amount is 6% more than what shows up on the order in PP. |

Oregon does not charge sales tax....PWCC's vault service may become a work around for paying sales tax on higher dollar items for those buyers located in the growing number of states collecting sales tax on ebay purchases. |

I have a New Jersey State resale Certificate. Does that exempt me from paying sales tax on all ebay purchases (even out of state)? Thank you. Joe

I don't buy much on Ebay anymore, but I submitted for it, and it went through pretty quickly. It says 7-10 days but it was more like 1 or 2. I made the mistake of first sending them my Sales & Use tax permit, but what they needed was the Sales & Use Tax Resale Certificate exemption form that is filled out for each individual seller you are doing business with (in this case "Ebay"). Supposedly once you submit this, it should be good for 3 years before they request it again. |

Another thing they'll have to track, here in Mass, the exemption forms should be filed each year. (Which doesn't always happen in practice) |

Just having a resale certificate doesn't automatically exempt you from sales tax on all purchases. And as mentioned by an earlier poster, you would also have to prepare and supply to Ebay, or whomever would otherwise be charging and collecting sales tax from you, a signed copy of any sales tax exemption certificate or form you have that is applicable. And here's where it can start to get sticky. What if over time you/your business make some Ebay purchases that are sales tax exempt and some that are not. I'm not exactly sure how Ebay will be able to discern between which purchases are or aren't subject to sales tax then. And if a state ever goes back to Ebay to review and audit the sales taxes they are and are not collecting, Ebay will likely turn over their file of any and all sales tax exemption forms they've received for people/businesses. And that helps to show Ebay has no liability for having not collected sales tax from those people/businesses that gave them sales tax exemption certificates. But it also then gives the state a listing of people/businesses to possibly further investigate to see if they are truly sales tax exempt or merely trying to get out of paying sales tax. |
