Blame ebay and everyone else for not having the balls to fight sales tax for used shit. Online sales tax is ridiculous to begin with. If you walk into a store in Indiana, you pay the Indiana tax rate, but if you order from the same place online you're expected to pay your own state? Fuck them.

Fuck off

Good. Look at this past year. People still can't get game consoles, GPUs, etc because of ebay assholes hoarding them to resell.

Shipping and item price are separate. This guy is literally listing a C-$10 item for C-$38 AND asking for either $10 shipping or $25 (2 options). If he was asking the $10 the movie was worth, I might even do the $25 shipping option. Simple matter of principle.

Yep. I hate ebay. Every time I look for El Camino, I get more annoyed. Idiots listing the Canadian BD for $30 when it's literally $10 on Amazon.ca but those assholes won't ship to the US anymore. I used to get packages from Japan faster than Canada anyway. I'm just pissed I can't get the...

Don't care. I'm about to do it again too. I ordered 2 things Thursday night. One from ebay, and one from a small site with cool shirts. Both were marked shipped on Friday with the same shipping method. My shirts just got here. The ebay package hasn't been received by USPS at all yet. Twice in a...

Buying on ebay sucks too. Sellers are fully aware of what a shit show USPS is by now, but they still refuse to offer Priority Mail etc. I have no problem paying for shipping, but I want proper shipping. I only use ebay as a last resort for OOP items now. I actually put a neutral feedback on a...

When I was collecting Xbox360 games, I negged a lot of sellers on both ebay and Amazon for listing games as "Like New" and sending me shit with scratches and rental stickers.

Or I can order and include a note offering to pay extra for better shipping. If they ignore me and the shit doesn't show up by the date Ebay promised, I promptly file dispute. I have zero patience for late shipments.

You act like there's a fucking choice when it's something OOP and hard to find, which is the only time I use ebay to begin with. I only resort to ebay when I can't get something through Amazon fulfilled sellers.

That's the definition of laziness. Boo-hoo. UPS/FedEx are farther away. People like you have no business selling at all.

The seller is choosing to deal with USPS. It's on them. Even Surepost/Smartpost would be better than standard USPS options because it bypasses the sorting centers where everything is getting held up. I'd be inclined to just spring for UPS ground though if it were an option. Sellers want to be...

Interesting. I ordered some kontrol freak caps I couldn't get from Amazon and a DVD and both showed up in a few days. Only order I've had issues with lately is Paypal but not ebay. I just started the process to dispute it. I bitched at the shop directly last week and it's been another week with...

and that's just going to lead to negative feedback for being lazy. I also hate feedback whores that bug me for it. If you have 99 or 100% positive, than enjoy it. That's what people mostly look at. Anything that takes more than a week results in a negative from me. I won't even order from people...

OR stop using USPS. Hell, even Smartpost/Surepost is better than straight USPS at this point since the local post offices aren't really the issue. I had a package hit the sorting facility an hour from here on the 26th but didn't get delivered until yesterday. I'm glad almost everything I order...

That's another reason I keep saying the way it's being handled is ridiculous. It's absolutely ridiculous to expect everyone to account for every state's bullshit. If I go to a store in Texas, I pay Texas sales tax. Nice and simple. Why not do the same if I buy from an ebay seller in Texas...

Ebay doesn't sell anything directly. Like I said they only facilitate private sales.

How bout because Ebay isn't technically a store, nor is Paypal a fucking bank. Ebay facilitates private transactions, and Paypal is a middle man for transferring funds. I've always said it's bullshit they report seller earnings. If you don't withdraw it from Paypal, it should be the equivalent...

Fuck my state. If I'm shopping somewhere else physically, I pay the sale tax there. Online should be the same way. If I'm buying from a guy in Ohio on ebay, it should be no different than if I actually went there. That would keep things simple.

That was my fucking point. It's overcomplicating it. The seller should only be obligated to collect the same tax for everyone. He's not moving. You're doing business with someone in Vegas, That's the tax you should pay. Same as if you went there physically. Fuck where you live.
