Sales tax in my own state

Stupid question but again there is so much misinformation on the inernet it is hard to know for sure. I live in Missouri. If I sell to someone that also lives in Missouri does eBay collect and remit the sales tax to the state? I know they do for out ...

Unanswered messages

When I go to my “Selling” section I see Unanswered messages (1). I click on it and see nothing. I am concerned that someone asked a question and may wonder why I am not answering. What might I be missing?

Additional shipping fees

I have sold an item but the actual shipping costs are much higher than on the listing. The buyer has agreed to pay the additional cost. I realise I need to raise a payment request through paypal but how do I get his email address?

Responding to requests for invoice/combined shipping.

If you receive a request for an invoice/combined shipping (Buyer clicked "Request Total" in cart, OR sent a message), but the total S/H charge for the couple of items adds up to the actual final cost to ship (there is no overage, or discount to be of...
