Attn Ebay sellers; look at this early message I got.

Anyone want to bet we start getting more 500-1000 free fixed price listings so that when we don't take them down before they auto-renew we get hit with the listing fees?

State sales tax requirement update
In October 2018, we announced that several states passed laws requiring eBay, as well as other online marketplaces, to collect sales tax on taxable items mailed to addresses in those states. In such cases, eBay calculates, collects, and remits the sales tax on your behalf. We collect the sales tax at checkout and you do not need to take any action. We do not charge a fee for this function.

More states will require eBay to collect sales tax later this year. You can find current information about these states on our Help page.

Starting in March 2019, our new Orders Report will itemize how much tax eBay collected and remitted for transactions in marketplace responsibility states.

We will apply state sales tax to items sold on eBay based on each state's unique tax requirements. We partner with leading tax provider Vertex to ensure our tax calculator accurately reflects state and local tax law, and regularly update our tax calculations. If you believe sales tax has been applied in error, please contact us.


so there going to do all this work and not end up charging sellers a fee at some point ,
