New professional seller: how can I charge Sales Tax to my customers

[dbcs.computer]

Hi there,

I recently registered my new business to GST and am now trying to apply it to my ebay sales as well. Until now, I was just charging the total (including tax) but am having trouble doing so.

I edited my Sales Tax Table in my ebay account yesterday, did a sale since then, but GST hasn't been applied. I've read lots of topics here but couln't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I've read something like setting up a similar table in paypal, and the fact each of my sales should show that I'm charging tax... In other words, please help! I'm pretty sure it's something easy I'm missing...

Thanks!

Thanks...but seems that helpful topic has been deleted: "The specified topic was not found."

My buyers still aren't charged GST when the sale ends, please help!

GST is still not applied on my sales, and I really don't know why...

When I go on a sale done this morning, it shows "Sales Tax Rate: No Sales Tax" while on my account, the Sales Tax Table is activated and applies to all provinces and territories... please help!

It might help for future requests...: once your Sales Tax Table is set, you need to modify the following setting in EVERY listing that you want the sales tax to be applied:

click on "Revise your Item"

at the bottom of the listing, in "Other things you'd like buyers to know", click on "Add or remove options", select "Sales tax -Charge applicable sales tax to buyers".

finally, check "Charge sales tax according to the sales tax table".

Save your listing.
