Went to add some new listings today and my create a listing page has updated since last week (sold my first item last week as well) and there's now options for a sales tax.
On the old create a listing view there was no option for me to put anything in about Sales Taxes. When I go to revise my old listings that I made last week none of them have the sales tax option checked, it's just blank. Checked my sales from last week on Paypal and the buyer was charged sales tax.
Why is this an option in my create a listing and do I just leave it blank and ebay will keep automatically charging for sales tax?
More than likely the reason that the Sales Tax window is still there is because there are sellers who reside in the states of Florida and Missouri that are still obligated to collect sales tax for all of their in state sales.
eBay does not currently collect sales tax for the states of Florida and Missouri because those are the last 2 states that have a state sales tax but do not yet have a Marketplace Facilitator Law on the books. But that will more than likely be changing sometime later this year, as both states currently have bills that are in process within their state legislatures.
