    NOTE
    to buyers regarding
    sales tax

    In 2019 eBay (
    NOT
    this seller
    ) began charging sales tax on purchases made by buyers in many U.S. states. The following is copied directly from eBay’s Help page, “Paying tax on eBay purchases”:
    ** © nasa21 – do not copy **
    “eBay's sales tax collection for US states
    Based on applicable tax laws, eBay will calculate, collect, and remit sales tax on behalf of sellers for items shipped to customers in the following states.
    Please check this page regularly as we are continuously updating the following table as states adopt new laws and regulations regarding sales tax collection.” [
    see eBay website for table with list of states
    ]
    This sales tax collection policy is part of eBay’s “Marketplace responsibility” plan.
    Seller has no control over any aspect of this policy and cannot change, reverse, or credit any sales tax charged by eBay.

    Contiguous
