Sales Tax- How do I determine how much sales tax Ebay collected in the State of California in 2020?

I need to file a report to the State of California and despite me telling them, I don't collect the tax anymore, 

I still have to file, tell them how much EBay collected on their behalf. And tell them how much I owe, which is of course ZERO.  
It appears that Paypal doesn't include the ship to address any longer in their reports...I know they did in the past. But after downloading every possible report from Paypal (I was still with them all year last year) and 

looking at the Ebay reports (useless) I can't figure it out.
I moved the Oregon last July but I can't get them to close my account until I files this %^&* report!!! 

How can I tell how much tax Ebay collected in the State of California on my behalf last year?

     There may be another way that is easier but you can run a report out of your payments if you were in MP for all or part of 2020. Click on the Payments tab then click on reports. Put in the date range you want to collect the data for and then hit create report. It will take a few minutes for this to generate but when it does you can download it as a CSV file and then custom format the data, I save the file as an Excel spreadsheet and then work from there. It has a lot of columns you can delete to get just the information you are looking for. Once condensed you can sort the data on any of the columns to obtain something like the following.

If you need a total tax figure, not just those collected from California residents, and you use Seller Hub, hover your cursor over "Performance" at the top and select "Sales" from the drop down list.

 

A sales report for the last 31 days should be returned.  From there you can enter the from and to date range for the sales in question, then resubmit.  Ignore the "compare to" stuff.

 

Hover over the info doohickey in the "Taxes and Fees" that explains those amounts are sales taxes, any government fees like recycling fees, and any VATs or import taxes.  If you didn't pay any government fees and didn't ship overseas, there's your figures.

 

I imagine the same report through a different drill down is available in Classic or whatnot or with the app.

Actually after pulling my hair out till the last minute, going through reports etc.

I called the CDTFA and the rep walked me through it.

I just put total sales, and then there's a drag down menu for Non Taxable for a 

3rd party seller marketplace. 
I just popped in the total, Wrote in Ebay, and bam, return filed, end of story closed my account. 

Don't need it in Oregon. There is no state tax and no sellers permits. 

He closed my account. Bye bye California.

By the way, his name is Robert Plant. 
Last time I spoke to him for 2019,  I asked if he was a Led Zep fan. 
He, said, well my parents are. Ba da bing. He got me there. Showing my age.

Don't feel bad about the age thing my family is totally messed up. My 50+ daughter is into BTS and my 13 year old granddaughter is into Led Zeppelin. Needless to say which one I connect better with on a music level.
