Resolved! Maybe eBay's parent corporation needs a tax write-off?

Resolved! Figuring out sales tax

Do we have to go to each individual state’s website to get the percentage sales tax, or is there a single place that lists them all together? eBay’s explanation and sales tax table that we supposedly have to put on each listing was extremely confusin...
