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)

Anyway to avoid sales tax from ebay?
I guess i'll stop buying from ebay and just go with fb/net54 from now on
