The gift request is an easily traceable crime, especially with the ebay shipping label. Lol
When I was doing international sales, there were no eBay shipping labels to be had and packages with customs forms had to go the the counter at the PO. I doubt anybody there would believe I was honestly mailing 6 or 8 gifts a week.
I got a message from ebay on 12-13-21 saying "On October 13, 2021, we launched a new sales tax enhancement intended to improve the taxability of items related to legal tender."
It's kind of funny they wait 2 months to say anything and their "new sales tax enhancement" hasn't fixed a thing.
I purchased a coin on 12-14-21 for $150 and was charged $11.63 in sales tax.
This is over a year ebay has been illegally collecting sales tax in states that don't tax coin & paper money.
About half of the states don't charge sale tax on coins & paper money, after a year of sales nationwide on ebay the amount illegally collected has to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Not to minimize the trouble it's causing for others but I haven't been charged sales tax on my purchases, so it's got to be something more complicated than eBay just collecting tax that's not required.
I foresee the next class action suit on the horizon.
Charging sellers fees on Improperly applied sales taxes.
I’ve never heard a word out of eBay to reimburse a seller that paid fv fees on total price of auction sold (including sales tax) when it was found that sales tax was Improperly collected and refunded to buyer.
Hmmmm.
I was never a fan of eBay collecting a fee on a state mandated tax that was only a pass thru to the state.

Yes, but you need to buy from them in person. Alternatively you can move to Delaware and do your mail order from whoever you want.
