Hi @andys1376 Who's the fool? Everybody here knows how eBay works and how to resolve any issues that might arise. And how to be civil while doing it. Again, good luck!

I sincerely hope that these replies are coming from Bots, not idiot humans. Thanks again for the non-answers. I guess fack eBay and I'll buy my silver elsewhere.

I guess I have to phone customer service if I really want my question answered.

So far I'm only seeing replies from Bots or absolute fools.

And eBay continues to illegally collect sales tax for items that are properly listed in the bullion category by large bullion companies.

Thanks for nothing, "community".

@andys1376 < Why is eBay still collecting sales tax on bullion sold to Wisconsin residents > The usual reason that sales tax is collected on sales of bullion to buyers in states where bullion is exempt from sales tax is that the seller had listed the item in the wrong category. To prevent sales tax from being collected, the item has to be listed in specific category(ies). You can go to the listing of the item you purchased and note the category. Then find the same item listed by a company like JMBullion or Apmex and check which category the item is listed in by them.
