Everything eBay! Scams, questions, etc...
GrandMoffNick:
The part that makes this hilarious to me is that it has a reserve price.

GrandMoffNick:
I don't blame the guy for trying to sell it. But the price seems pretty crazy. Who's paying double for a custom?

So I ran into a new one (for me) where a guy bought something from me for $65 with free shipping. He didn't pay immediately so I'm sending him an invoice tonight and it wanted me to charge him 6.25% sales tax for CT.
I'm not a store and thought this was weird, but apparently it's a thing in 25 or so states:

Am I the only one who thinks that's total bull****? I could see it if I was a proper store, but when I sell something on eBay it's a digital garage sale, I'm not a storefront and people shouldn't have to pay sales tax for my old toys. Am I understanding this correctly?
JediJman:
Wow, that stinks. I've never heard of that before. I guess I could see it if you were selling from an "Ebay Store" site, but as an independent person selling on Ebay? That's crazy.
Rob:
I just did some googling and apparently there was some supreme court ruling last year that opened the door for states to require this, some have, others haven't.
It's completely wrong for the government to collect sales tax on old star wars toys that have been bought and sold over and over.
