Resolved! I am very confused about ebay charging sales tax when my state doesnt appear to require it.

The new sales tax collection took me by surprise, so I called in and spoke with a rep at ebay. I was told it was now mandatory, and I just accepted that. I will say that for Christmas I did buy considerably less on ebay than I was planing on, after a...

Do you prefer to block first, or sell to anyone? Which do you think is a better strategy?

Wondering what your experiences were when it comes to blocking vs selling to anyone. Disregarding the very obvious scammers (block immediately), a lot of times there will be iffy buyers - you know the ones who ask a bunch of annoying questions (if yo...

Resolved! Selling from Texas, sold to Utah. Ebay collected sales tax and put it in my PayPal account. ?

I'm in Austin TX. I sold and item to Utah buyer. Ebay collected sales tax and didn't keep the money, but instead put it in my PayPal account along with the money from the sale. I thought Ebay was supposed to pay any sales taxes due. What am I suppose...

Sales 50% from last year - top rated seller - better fb rating - more listings - worse sales - why?

So I’ve been selling on eBay for 14 years now. I originally ran eBay accounts for 2 previous companies prior to my own ID now, but I digress. I‘m just generally talking about my specific sales from last year - this exact week - to this year - this ex...

Fix for scams

I wish eBay could and would run a "sting" operation on the site and prosecute offenders. Too many sellers getting hammered with all these scammers.

Slow? This is crazy ...

Anyone else slow? Last few days it's really bad. And I have ALL my listings promoted right now.

What I want from ebay for Christmas

I really really want ebay to open up more categories for variation listings (especially the ones like Decorative Collectible brands where they actually took it away when it was already on the old list). I would also like to see them make a way to do ...

Vent, my first negative. What I learned

So maybe I am just venting because I am truly embarrassed for my error. I listed a bedskirt that I used on my Queen bed at some point in the past. Without thinking to measure (my first mistake) I listed it as queen sized.About a week after delivery I...

How many followers do you have?

I stumbled across this number tonight. I've never paid any attention to it. I never even knew what the number was until now. Mine is 60. Is that high? Low? What's yours?

1099k

Can't find the answer to this. Me and my husband have separate ebay accounts linked to separate PayPal accounts. Will they be combined at the end of the year by PayPal for tax purposes? Over 200 sales and over $20000 combined. Thanks

PAYPAL FROZE MY ACCOUNT SO HOW DO I MOVE ON WITH EBAY?

Long story short, Paypal froze my account, and despite repeated efforts to find out why, including a personal letter to corporate because you cannot mediate on its website as they claim, I still was never told the reason. Anyone can see by Googling p...
