Mentor8 months agoWhich state and ZIP code? What is your tax rate? Are you taking into account shipping, if appropriate?

OP8 months agoSales tax in Washington state is based on the location of where the item is being delivered. Shipping charges are subject to sales tax so the sales tax amount would be the total times the sales tax rate for the location. Rates are most often higher in the city than the unincorporated areas outside the city limits. Sellers (eBay) base sales tax on zip code which is not always the rate. I understand this might have to do with their software company they use does not cross reference the rates with the dept of revenue, which have the correct rates based on location of delivery.

If possible, try using ZIP+4; that may help.
