eBay

I am in Indiana and the "ebay shipping supplies" seller (the one you use your store "coupon" for free supplies with every 3 months) is in Kentucky. Until this month, I was not charged sales tax by them. I wrote them to ask them if they have a "nexus" now in Indiana (which I doubt). Indiana is NOT one of the states to force online sales tax collection yet.

Anyone else run into this?

I am in Nevada and I have always been charged tax. On the other hand I have always gotten my supplies the very next day from when I order them. At that speed they are not coming from Kentucky. Presumably a local warehouse.

How quick do you get them? If next day then they are also not coming from Kentucky,

Sorry I didn't get back to this thread until now. On October 1st Indiana passed a partial sales tax law on out of state companies.

From what I understand on October 1st, many states started making larger companies charge sales/use tax if they...

"Have more than $100,000 in gross revenue in sales OR 200 or more transactions for delivery into the state in the current or previous calendar year".

The states that enacted this law are... Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Washington, and Wisconsin. New Jersey is enacting it on November 1st.

This isn't the same as the "Amazon tax" that several other states enacted since the businesses themselves have to collect and remit the tax. Thanks to the Wayfair court ruling, businesses no longer have to have a "nexus" or physical presence in these states, just the sales volume mentioned above.
