Collecting State Sales Tax

I'm brand spanking new to ebay, but I have a question regarding state sales tax. I do have a resale license so I'm required to collect sales tax for items purchased in Oklahoma. I found some instructions that say there's a "Tax Table" under Site Preferences. But when I go to Site Prefrerences, there is no "Payments from buyers" section.

 

I've done some searches on the discussion board, but I didn't see where anyone else had a problem with this. Am I missing something?

 

Also, on one of the messages I read, someone stated that they couldn't set up more than one tax rate per state on ebay? Please tell me this isn't true since most states also have county (or township) as well as city taxes so every city's rate might be different. As big as ebay is, they aren't able to set this up? 

 

Can anyone suggest a way to get the correct amount of tax charged for in-state purchases if this is the case?

 

Thank you for your time and any help you can give me with this.

 But Oklahoma sales tax is supposed to be collected based on their address if you are selling online and the product is being shipped to an address within the state.

 

 

I would suggest asking a local tax attorney, seems your state has a convoluted way of collecting taxes for online sales.
