Fee-bay is no longer the wild west anymore. The money grab for Massachusetts started today - I won a card for $660 last night on ebay and had a nice $42 sales tax addition!!!

Sellers, at least on the very small level I do from time to time have the option to choice not to collect tax. I am not sure what the ramifications are to that if any though.

I think almost all states have now updated their laws to take advantage of last year's South Dakota v Wayfair decision allowing them to apply sales taxes to catalog and on line out of state retailers and sellers. Texas passed the legislation effective 10-1 this year. I think I read that of the states with sales taxes only Florida and Missouri have not updated their laws. So I assume sales taxes will now apply to almost all eBay purchases. Others may have better info.

It depends on the state *YOU* live in, not which state the seller is in. So if your state recently became a use-tax collecting state, you're paying the tax, no matter where the seller is. Why do you think Brent spent so much money to build vaults in a state with no sales tax?

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.

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

I had not expected Massachusetts to start today. It wasn't on the list, or maybe I missed it? Damn. I need a Vault account now.

Not to beat a dead horse, but wasn't the taxes on these cards already paid when they were manufactured in 1962 or whatever? So basically, every time an item is sold, it will be taxed, no matter how many times it's sold?

I'm pretty sure we all could list a hundred different reasons why this is bad. However, something positive will come out of this as well: first of all, we have all become like robots. Click-click-click - send message - click - send offer - click accept - click-click-click print shipping label. Some folks are too afraid to speak with me over the phone! People have become so comfortable in their own quiet digital world. Now this whole thing is going to make people get off their butts and pick up that phone. There will also be more coffee shop meetings, lunch meetings, and more transactions will be taking place in card shows. And finally, the BST board here (and all the other forums) will get better.

Who will ultimately pay for it is an open question. Will collectors just fork over more, or will they pay less calculating it as part of the final price like a buyer's premium? I certainly know dealers who worry it will suppress prices.
I just got an email from a merchant essentially saying they will make the customer whole for the tax. Of course, they may surreptitiously raise prices to offset their loss. Dear Customer, Everybody likes to save money! I am excited to share B&H’s new way to save you money. Last year, the Supreme Court ruled that out-of-state retailers must collect sales tax on online sales. As a result, on October 4th, B&H will start collecting tax on shipments to Massachusetts, as required by state law. We have been working hard to develop a solution to eliminate the impact of this ruling on our customers. Our solution is named Payboo! When you use the new B&H Payboo Credit Card*, you can save the equivalent of the tax — you pay the tax, and we pay you back instantly! Make any purchase at B&H with Payboo, and you will receive an instant reward equal to the sales tax you paid. And at B&H, instant means instant — no expiring points, credits, or coupons to worry about. It’s that simple. (B&H collects and remits state sales tax in accordance with state laws, so all required tax is collected and paid, and B&H issues the instant savings credit to you.) Payboo is an exciting store credit card with, we believe, the most valuable benefit in the industry — the instant credit equal to the sales tax. As long as you pay your bill on time, you will not incur any interest or other costs. I invite you to apply today at www.BandH.com/payboo. I know you have many choices where to buy creative tech gear, and I truly appreciate your business. With Payboo, I believe B&H will become an even clearer choice for all your technology needs. I look forward to a continued great business relationship. Please remember, at B&H the customer always comes first. That’s why we’ve created Payboo to eliminate the impact of sales tax for you. Please visit us today and start saving! Thank you,

And why do you think a merchant would be willing to offer you such a tax reimbursement incentive attached to a credit card? I think we both know the answer has something to do with spending more and not paying the account in full right away.

Is it legal for eBay to tax shipping fees? I thought services couldn't be taxed.
