As a Canadian selling on eBay.com, I have noticed that eBay does not collect HST when I sell to Canadian buyers. Is there a way to set this up so that eBay collects and remits Canadian taxes (HST/PST/GST) as it does for my US clients? I don't use eBa...
Sales on ebay.com are processed through ebay managed payments. Sellers receive payouts that are net of all fees and taxes, US State and HST/PST Canadian taxes where applicable (which they collect and remit to States and Provinces/CRA). So the seller ...
Lets tell it like it is! Canadians do not collect or submit taxes on used items , sold or bought at garage sales , flea markets , or personal sales of personal items! So where is this money collected by ebay going to? When the Canadian government and...

Why would you think Canadians are going to fall in line paying sales tax on a used item that already was charged tax as new. This is why I hardly used my eBay account any more. First, you demanded our SIN which I never give out, so you could report -...
EBay is charging their fees on the amount that the customer pays on tax and on the amount for shipping and handling. How does this company justify charging their selling fees to these items when they aren’t involved in shipping anything directly? Why...
My customer bought a $25 item with local pickup which I offer for free with no handling fees. When I prepare their invoice the estimated total listed is $28.25 ( $25 + $3.25 tax) which makes sense. Once I send the invoice, it states a total of $30.79...
Hello, Forgive me if I sound dumb but I was hoping that someone in the ebay community can provide me some understanding. Sorry if my english is bad. Back in 2021 I decided to create an ebay account to sell items, I made less than 10k. I received a le...
Hi,I'm not quite sure to understand why do we have to pay eBAY a taxes on stuff we're selling that we already paid a taxe on? It's like paying 2 taxes on the same item....this makes no sense at all. Thanks.
Hey just a heads up, CRA did a review on my GST/HST billing authorization form. If you completed the form eBay provided it is wrong unless you are in Quebec. The form we should have all had them sign and send back to us has CRA on the top left instea...
So Canadian buyers now have to pay both the provincial and federal sales tax on used items regardless if they are a business or not and to add insult to injury they charge the taxes on top of the shipping cost as well. eBay might as well shut down th...

I had a sale this morning where no tax was charged. The item was in the DVDs category (and was a movie). The listing was on eBay Canada. The item location is correctly set in Canada. I'm in Canada. The shipping address is to a Canadian address. The o...
I assumed that eBay was doing this on our behalf since July 2022, but after a conversation with 2 X CRA agents today, they explained there needs to be an "agent election" agreement in place i.e. the GST506 form.Did any of you fill one of these out wi...
Why collect tax on something that has already been taxed by the purchaser? I buy USED equipment and I get taxed on that so isn't that illegal to tax twice on ONE item?
Hello, When I file my BC or MB PST, I must enter the total of my sales then pay the PST. I can even get a commission if I file and pay on time which is cool. But now that eBay collects and remits PST on my behalf, what do I enter in the form? That my...
