ebay tax

[LT1vette]

Interesting reading for a Canadian.
I've noticed a high increase in the amount of FB classifications, sites, friends .... all for the purpose of selling parts/things.
I've been looking for parts for my restoration and EB has gone crazy with charges, I don't have a FB page, I just scroll through the sites as they pop up.

So you favoured EB...! I bought some parts off a nice responsive lady in California. Car parts, and she charged me CA sales tax, (the last time I'll buy on EB). I called her and told her I lived in Canada, paid with Can credit card, I have never had to pay state sales tax as I don't live in the state. She informed me that she had "No control over the tax or shipping charges"!
She told me EB gets her $$ before she does and that she often waits more than a month for her $$ to arrive from EB after the sale. The shipping and tax is deducted from her sale $$.......
Nice way to run a business.
Time to rethink this......
