Yes you do.The very nature of ecommerce is to for the buyer to receive their product or service ASAP.Likewise the seller  wants to sell while the visitor is there.You could operate on checks and money orders ,but that involves additional cost(postage) and elongated time for the buyer to receive their product or service,as the seller has to wait for the check to clear and then ship.Many items(non tangible)do not require a shipping cost ,but if you have to send a hard copy,then you have additional shipping cost added to the cost of the product or service.This is the day of instant acquisition and gratification,and if the customer doesn't buy from you because you offer no way to pay immediately,they will buy from someone else.Sellers are not responsible for credit card debt,the credit card holder is,and its about time they shoulder the responsibility for their own mismanagement.

A sales tax is levied on the consumer; usually the purchaser of the item for last time.  Sales taxes are paid by both individuals and businesses.  \n\nVATs are taxed at each level of commerce.  Purchasers, other than the final individual consumer, are generally able to claim a credit back for what they paid in calculating what they owe on their sales.  There is no such credit mechanism with a sales tax.\nVATs can be levied so that the burden falls solely on individuals and not businesses (Canada's GST for example)

You should file schdule C for your Ebay business. You first account your sales from ebay, then you account your business expenses: cost to acquire the items for sale, ebay fees, paypal fees, shipping fees, advertisement, auto expenses, home office deduction, telephone expenses, supplies etc. The difference of sales and expense is the net income which is subject both income tax and selfemployed tax. Schedule C is complicated, please seek a qualified tax professional.\n\nZhicheng Lai\nEnrolled Agent

She has to pay sales tax in the state where she purchased the item. If you didn't collect it from her than i fyou are audited you will pay it. they state where you live (california) collects taxes form the person or business who sold the item, It's up to you to collect it from her.&#92;\nIf that was true than all of my cars, clothes, tools,  ect would be brought form another state:)).\nEvery one in Georgia would shop in Florida and everyone in Florida would shop in Georgia.

Their lower sales rate in Washington state would suggest that no, they wouldn't.  I knew quite a few people (even Amazonians) who didn't buy from Amazon due to that factor.  Given a high state sales tax (>8% in both WA and CA), it's the simple economics of a higher price.  Also, WA no longer has a shipping facility, so the convenience of buying online is occasionally outweighed by the delay of obtaining the goods.

You'll have to charge sales tax to those buying within your state.  To do that, you'll need a sales tax number.  Ask a local retailer where to get the application.  It's illegal to do business and not charge residents the sales tax.\nTo buy from suppliers within your state, you'll need the tax number to give them (because as a retailer you are exempt from paying the sales tax on items you buy for resale); otherwise your supplier will have to charge you sales tax.\nYou'll also need an assumed name (dba..."doing business as") certificate to be on file with the county clerk.  That's a legal requirement in most states.  You'll have to go to the county courthouse to fill out that form.  You can ask them there how to go about getting the sales tax number.

Illinois has a very aggressive approach to taxing Internet purchases.  They have sued a number of retailers to force them to collect the sales tax on products shipped to Illinois.  Under Illinois law if the seller (typically an out-of-state business, such as a catalog company or a retailer making sales on the Internet) does not charge Illinois Sales Tax, the purchaser must pay the tax directly to the department.  It would follow that they have found a means to identify those purchasers.

The legal answer to your question is YES.  You are required to pay taxes for anything you sell for a PROFIT on ebay.  Many people, myself included, have sold items on ebay for a profit.  You are required to report this as income.\n\nIf you purchased an item for $20 and sell it for $10 on ebay, then no taxes are due.  In fact, you could probably count this as a loss against anything you sold for a gain.\n\nBest of luck, email me with any questions,\n\nJared

It depends.  If you are selling items that you purchased with earnings you have already paid taxes on and you are not selling them for more than what you purcahsed them for, then no, you do not have to pay taxes on the money you have reaped from Ebay.  If you have sold these same items for more than you paid for them, in other words, you have actually gained $3,000 over and above what you paid for these items, then yes, you have to report that income and pay the appropriate income tax.

Yes, if you are receiving the goods as the agent of the purchaser, and then promptly shipping the goods out of state or country, then you usually qualify for an exemption from the sales tax.\n\nExactly how you qualify for the exemption depends on your State's laws.  In most cases, you will have to acquire a resale or sales tax license from your State's sales tax authority, and to file a report each year.

The rule of thumb is where the product is delivered to the customer.  If you took an order and delivered in in PA, the sales tax rate would be for that location in PA (State and local).  In this case, you delivered it to Delaware, so the tax charged should be the Delaware rate (including any local tax too)

If you are just selling a few odds & ends - NO.\nIf you make a business of it or have a 'shop' then you need to pay taxes according the the laws of your country.
