Tax refunds for items shipped outside of the US via freight forwarding

Question

Does anybody has experiences how to claim back the sales tax from Ebay for items shipped outside the US by shipping the goods to a freight forwarding company. Ebay has an article about this, with a link to Ebay Customer Service but from there I am facing a loophole with their amazing AI bot...

thanks!

@cwm5n-61 You can try contacting customer service on social media. However you may have to file with the states tax authority.

For future purchases I recommend using a freight forwarder in Oregon or Delaware as they both have a lot of freight forwarders and there is not any state sales tax.

Keep in mind that the eBay Money Back Guarantee is only good to the address the item was delivered to. Reshipping voids the eBay Money Back Guarantee

Contact customer service by sending a PRIVATE message on social media. Customer service verifies your identity before responding.
