Hello Tyler,

 
Could the system please be updated so that promotion fees are included as part of the original FVF's vs a separate transaction?
 
Also as standard practice, TAX in Canada is added to the Sub Total and then rounded up or down accordingly. NOT to each line and rounded up. Over the course of a year the method eBay is using will compound, esxpecially with eBay's multi-line system. When tax is charged, it should be applied correctly.
 
Example: 5 % Tax in Alberta
 
100.00 + 5.00 = 105.00
100.09 + 5.0045 = 105.09 (not 105.10).
100.10 + 5.01 = 105.105  (105.11)
 
Calculator Attached
 
 
In reviewing the eBay help pages I still do not see clarification for items that in many jouristictions are tax exempt.Has this ever been officially addressed?

Hi @lotzofuniquegoodies - I will get your requested suggestions filed with the product team!

 

When it comes to tax exemption by category, there is not currently anything in place that eBay Canada oversees or mandates. The closest applicable page I could find is this one

 

In the event that eBay Canada begins to charge taxes similar to the way it is done on .com I would expect there to be a formal process for a buyer to notify us of any personal exemptions related to business, as well as category-specific tax exemptions in place. 

 

If you find instances of sellers charging taxes in a category you know should not have tax charged please consider reporting them to CS so they can review and take appropriate action. 

 

Thanks!
