OT: Did you know that Paypal includes the sales tax when calculating their fees?

FYI Ebay also adds the shipping before calculating the sales tax...so you pay sales tax on the shipping as well.

..So if I offer ''free shipping'' as a seller , but sneak in an extra $3 or $4 onto my BIN price, am I guilty somehow of tax evasion ? Seems like a wash.....how long until 'free shipping' becomes illegal.?

No...it's the total of sales price and shipping, so whatever the total is, is the amount they add for and collect on the sales tax.
