Stephen Posted January 10, 2020 Report Posted January 10, 2020 Does one get charged tax if seller is not in same state? Books are the item. Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted January 10, 2020 Report Posted January 10, 2020 It depends on the state(s). I just got my first tax charge on a blade I received from California. Not sure if it's CA or HI doing the charge, but I had no choice in paying it if I wanted the blade. I think we'll see more of that. Quote
Ganko Posted January 10, 2020 Report Posted January 10, 2020 I believe the buyers state that receives the tax. Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted January 10, 2020 Report Posted January 10, 2020 The tax is applied depending on the buyers state. Quote

Stephen Posted January 11, 2020 Author Report Posted January 11, 2020 Probably my last eBay Buy Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted January 11, 2020 Report Posted January 11, 2020 I just went back & calculated what the percentage of tax I paid, & it turned out to be Hawaii's rate, including the shipping cost. Quote
Brian Posted January 11, 2020 Report Posted January 11, 2020 Yeah, depends on the shipping destination. When I buy and send to my NY forwarder address, I get charged tax. When I choose Stephen's address or send to here in SA...no Tax. Quote
Stephen Posted January 11, 2020 Author Report Posted January 11, 2020 hummm wonder why i get taxed then? Quote
Wayben Posted January 11, 2020 Report Posted January 11, 2020 Looked through my records and it looks like the taxing started in Iowa on Nov 1st of last year. Won't be long and it will be everywhere. Brian - the tax in IA is probably less than NY. Wayne Quote
Brian Posted January 11, 2020 Report Posted January 11, 2020 Yeah, been a long time since I sent anything there. The NY tax hurts, but they are good forwarders and get stuff here in 3 days. So I use them when I need stuff.Like now...need some silly rubber band for a bandsaw that is like $20, and it will likely cost me another $50 to get it here. Crazy, but what are you gonna do when your postal service doesn't work. 1 Quote
Blazeaglory Posted January 12, 2020 Report Posted January 12, 2020 It used to be only taxed from the state you're in but now i think eBay changed that because i get taxed no matter which state I buy from now which is annoying Quote
reeder Posted January 12, 2020 Report Posted January 12, 2020 It's not eBay, there was a new ruling/law/whatnot that allowed states to elect to collect sales tax on online sales from out of state sellers regardless whether or not they had a physical presence in that state. IIRC this is from the decision on Wayfair v. S. Dakota. I suppose you'll see PayPal (as well as other payment processers) automatically collecting the sales tax on transactions if they haven't started already. 1 Quote

Krystian Posted January 13, 2020 Report Posted January 13, 2020 As far as I understand this new law you are safe If you make a payment with bank wire instead of Paypal. It is definitely worth a try. Quote
Wayben Posted January 14, 2020 Report Posted January 14, 2020 That probably works, keep the businesses out of it and then it's a private transaction. Quote
