Can't update API Listings due to tax settings issues

[mowandsnow]

We are using tax table, we are in Illinois only, now something on Ebay has changed, I guess no longer do we have to do our state taxes etc, but  now i cant update any listings via api, it errors the following 


 The selected tax rate is lower than the minimum allowed value, or greater than the maximum allowed value.<BR>The selected tax rate is lower than the minimum allowed value, or greater than the maximum allowed value.

eBay has been collecting sales tax for sales to Illinois since Jan 2020.

https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/fees-credits-invoices/taxes-import-charges?id=4121#section3

eBay is now collecting sales tax for all states in the USA that have a sales tax. The sales tax table is only to be used by sellers in a few US territories. Sellers in the USA proper don't need it. You need to stop using the sales tax table.

Try going to this page and make sure that all the tax rate percentages are blank, and all the sliders are off.

That page has changed, no longer has anything related to the USA, only certain outside countries. if you remove the <UseTaxTable> from the API, another error happens. This started on Monday, some 4 days ago. Ebay just recreated all our listings from their end, due to a code change a month ago. So its nothing on our end, we also havent updated the api version, so nothing should change period... other than forcing to a new api

Are you referring to the state sales tax on purchases?

Doesn't eBay figure that out for you and collect the appropriate amount for the buyer's state and remit it to that state's treasury?

Am I misunderstanding your message?

OK, then you might need to get rid of the obsolete tax table another way. Not everything has to (or can) be done in the API.

You have  not needed a tax table for more than five years, so this appears to be a result of old, outdated settings that you should have deleted or updated years ago.

FYI, the regions that are still listed in the eBay tax table are all US territories or protectorates. They are not foreign countries. They are part of the United States. They just have not passed marketplace facilitator tax laws.
