eBay

Ebay recently charged me sales tax on an item, that is a non taxable good in my state. The item was listed in the correct category (any item in this category should not be taxable in my state, and as someone who spends in excess of $500,000 per annum in said category, I know this to be true). I contacted customer service, and they said that a refund of the illegally collected tax would be issued within 2 days. I am still waiting. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get this refund rather than wasting more of my time with customer service?

California says there's no tax exemptions for online sales.

See message 16

If you live in California tax for merchandise is not exempted for online purchases.

Are you kidding me? ebay claiming they "don't know where you live" Ebay has ALL of our information, including our shipping addresses, it's in our account information. . To all the TROLLS on here making excuses for ebays illegal tax snatching scam....SHAME ON YOU !

Example of ebay theft. I was charged taxes on a golf dress even though we don't pay taxes on clothes ....EVEN ATHLETIC CLOTHES. I double checked this with the MN Dept of revenue and was assured that ebay had no business charging me taxes on ANY clothing item no matter what category they're listed in.

Cancel your order if over charged by ebay on taxes,Recent I won a bid item and they charged me 12.8% tax. My state sales tax is 4.255 %. Canceled the oeder because guess who gets the difference certainly not the seller.
