I think taxing product twice... now used **bleep** is Bull. Took a rocket scientist to put that in to law.
As a matter of curiosity if this action takes place in July... Why is eBay implementing this robery now,
just practising ??

I hope you also expressed your concerns about paying taxes on the used pickup you purchased a couple of years ago.
As for why eBay is doing this now, they had a year to put this in place after federal legislation was passed.

There is sales tax on used goods.
Even those less valuable than a pickup.

you must read and understand what this Canadian taxation process actually is about ,and not what you think it is...
this taxation process is not about how many times an item has taxes applied to it...
This new Canadian tax procesds relates to sellers in that the FVFs will include paying the FVF percentage rate on the TOTAL transaction, including the sales tax that the buyer has paid.
this is taxation on transactions of online sales, and it is the buyers that are paying the sales tax. It does not matter where the seller is located- the taxation is based on the buyer's location.
It is the BUYER that pays the sales tax according to the %age sales tax of their province. Sellers under the $30,000 threshold need do NOTHING! It is the selling site that is collecting those taxes on behalf of sellers and remitting them as required. BUYERS pay the sales tax on the sales transaction.Sellers will pay their fees on the TOTAL transaction.
This Canadian taxation process is really no different than the "internet taxation" as applied in the USA by 45 state gov'ts, whereby buyers pay that USA "internet sales tax" based on their state's sales tax % and sellers pay their fees on the TOTAL transaction, which includes paying fees on the applied taxes. The Canadian taxation process is also applied to the TOTAL transaction, whereby the taxes are paid by the buyer, but the seller will pay the fees on the TOTAL transaction which includes paying the applicable fees on the new taxation process...
