Sales tax

[larrymajordev]

Is anyone else shocked by the sudden collection of sales taxes on purchases now from any state? Is this someone’s idea of a tax cut?

it is not right to charge for tax on a used item!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also if you only sell 20 items a year your not a business seller and it's not to be taxed ...do you go to a garage sale and pay taxes on used items?? bull **bleep** this is highway robbery

@markula! ,

Do you realize that it is the state to which your items are being shipped that is charging this tax? Contact your state legislators with your complaints. They enacted this law.

In the state where you have your online purchases delivered, are there thrift shops like Goodwill or antique shops?

If so, I would be willing to bet that those stores are being required to charge buyers state sales tax on what they are selling, which is probably at least 80% used merchandise.  

The tax is charged on the transaction, not the item.

If you advertise your items on Ebay, sell them,ship them, and pay fees for that sale, you are a business. And you are paying sales tax on the internet transaction,used, new,...whatever..

"Who keeps voting for these people to tax us!??"

Just as a wild guess, I'd say it's the voters in your state.  

[soh.maryl]

What state are you in? And, if your SA is not charging state sales tax, but your WalMart, CVS, Macy's does, then, sorry to say, but the SA is breaking the law.

According to the federal and all state governments you ARE a business, whether licensed or not:

business. n. any activity or enterprise entered into for profit. It does not mean it is a company, a corporation, partnership, or have any such formal organization, but it can range from a street peddler to General Motors.

lookup online
I am talking about used stuff my friend

info please read I never talk about brand new my friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do thrift stores charge sales tax?
State sales tax laws differ with respect to thrift stores in general and nonprofit thrift stores in particular. Generally, taxable goods sold at retail by a nonprofit are subject to sales tax, but that's not always the case.

where I live no tax at out SA and eBay should follow suit on USED ITEMS
IF I have a garage sale 5 times a year and sell 1,0000s of items charge no tax I am not a business my friend "YOU NEED A BUSINESS LICENCE FOR THAT" I SHOULD KNOW I OWN 3
