@louis-gasm Just got an update on this, ebay will only apply the tax exemption certificate for sales tax that they are collecting and remitting. This will not apply to tax charged by individual sellers that they are collecting and remitting themselves.
Per Trinton this would currently only apply to the states where eBay has a marketplace responsibility to collect and remit sales tax. In other states, you can work with the appropriate state board overseeing tax collection to request a credit, or contact your seller prior to purchase to request an exception.
