Sales tax for US buyers

I got an email that outlined the internet sales tax.  I sell on .ca and .com.  Does anyone have a clue how they are going to make us collect sales tax on our US sales or will ebay do it all like they do for Australia?

Hello Tyler,

 

Your example appears to be a dot com listing. In your tests did it display accurately for dot ca listings?

I checked one of my listings on .ca....when I'm logged in with a Canadian user id it shows "charges taxes in multiple provinces". When I'm logged in with a US based user id it shows "tax charged for WA & MN".

 

It would appear that the tax message is based on the location of the buyer not the site on which the listing is viewed.

ZOMBIE THREAD FROM JANUARY 2019

 

@i_remember_that 

The problem with zombie threads is that the information may be out of date or incorrect.

 

There are many more thread on the subject of the "internet sales tax" now that nearly half of the US states have adopted it.
