So Amazon is collecting sales tax for your sales there to PA but Ebay is not? Curiouser and curiouser.
Of course, because AMZ IS the payment facilitator while eBay (currently) is NOT.
eta: and before you ask, PP doesn't have to because PP is "just a digital wallet"

"Thursday's ruling did not require all Internet companies to collect sales taxes. While larger companies certainly are now obligated to do so, the decision suggested that small retailers, who sell on eBay, for example, will not face the requirement."

Ok? I'm following you. But IF small sellers are exempt? Maybe that would be a boom for them? Not so much for the big guys? What do you think? I dont know. So disgusted. It seems every good thing does get ruined. By you know who. Gees? So they say the economy is just starting to pick up? Yipee for all. So lets raise gas and tax internet? They dont even let the little guy catch his breath.

@rustyrail wrote:It is not simply a matter of filing sales tax receipts for every state. We would have to determine every sales tax receipt for every community that the sale originated in. This would result in each seller having to file potentially thousands of sales tax reports. Additionally, every seller would have to obtain Sales Tax Permits from every State.
If eBay wants to stay in business, then eBay will have to develop a workable solution for this problem.
Otherwise most sellers will simply go out of business.
So, what is eBay going to do????
Ebay could same as Etsy collect it and turn it over to those states that require it. . It is funny to read that Trump had his people help S.D. with sale tax , just to get back at Amazon who wasn't even involve with case , Because they have psychical presents . They did say it is open to go back to court for argument under other issues . well in 1992 there wasn't online sales when that law passed . It wasn't until early 1996 when online market started up , but still in it's infancy . Fact the 5 of judges had issues with 1992 law being poorly written , it took over 20 years for them to over turn it over it. Again how that complaint never came up all those years for push to update that law .

More than that I think. Sometimes each COUNTY in a state.

I'm going to go waaaaay out on a limb (<--sarcasm font) here and say Amazon has been completely pre-prepared for this ruling and yes, the programming is ready to go, however and whenever.

I think it`s a rip that used items get taxed everytime they chage hands. Think about all the revenue generated from used item sales. Like we don`t pay enough already. They are out to squeeze us dry!
I absolutely agree. Apart from licenced vehicles there should be ZERO ST charged on used items. They already got their cut the first time it sold.

Well yes and no.....I'm sure filthy rich people would love that ruling when they buy that da Vinci, Van Gogh or Faberge egg...

> Ebay do the coding for us!? Ha!
Right!
eBay will probably charge a 10% FVF on the sales tax!

If they do, its just gonna cost my state and fed's more, I'm disable, I can't work a 9-5 job, but selling online I can work around my illness, without it I'll have to go on SSI, which means they'll have to support and pay for me. I have a LLC, pay state and federal taxes on what I sell, I have a house, a car, pay taxes on them, also I can go to the store to buy food and supplies for my house and yard.
My sales having been dropping for years selling on ebay, I had to drop international sales because postage got so outrageous that sales dropped and the chance of losing $14 to $25 just on postage plus the items if got lost or broken wasn't worth it.

closer to truth than I would like to think, if they get involved . . . . the cost of any software & coding will be passed along to the seller at a 10x the value of the service done

Here is food for thought Had Pres. Obama gotten his judge that he picked in the supreme court through Had Republicans had not block him. good chance the court would held the law in place for fiscal presents . Folks you vote for Republicans that don't care about you, and this is what you get.
