Don't blame Florida....I just read this on EBAY's website:
"The following states do not currently have marketplace facilitator laws so eBay does not collect sales tax on orders shipped to their state:
Florida
Kansas
Louisiana
Mississippi
Missouri
If an eBay seller has sales tax nexus in one of the above states, then it is still the seller’s, and not eBay’s, responsibility to collect tax from buyers in the state."
May just be a seller who is following the rules! (Not unlike some Village Residents collect and pay tax when renting out their homes down here, many DO NOT)!
