Change item location when I winter in AZ

Hi,

I am a NY resident and eBay collects sales tax for my sales.

I will be in AZ for a few months.

How do I set up my items for sale so the item location is AZ but the NY sales tax

will be collected by eBay? Or does eBay collect NY sales tax if I am selling out of state?

Or do I need to charge AZ sales tax for items sold here?

The item location needs to be the AZ address so shipping charges show correct now that I am not in NY.

I know how to set the new mailing location for  items but worry that this will cause a problem with sales tax.

Thank you for all input,

Amyo48

eBay's sales tax collection is based on the location of the buyer, not the seller.  So the item location won't affect whether eBay collects sales tax on your transactions.

Just put in the Arizona location for all of your items so shipping prices correctly.
Since you are registered in NY, I assume eBay will collect NY tax. Either way, since eBay is the one that collects and distributes taxes, why don't you leave it up to them?
Your lucky to leave to Arizona as the chill sets in here in NY!! Enjoy

Thanks for clarifying!
Either way it's in eBay domain.

Can you change item location by item?  Not by seller?

Yes. In each item you can switch the item location.

See attached screenshot of listing form
