Actually the history of why they charge the selling fee as the total of the bid plus the shipping is simple. People figured out that one way to avoid the fee when it was just based on the bid price was to list an item worth say $50 and list the shipping at $40. Then the winning bid would be only $10 and the seller would pay his 10% of the $10 or a big one dollar. Ebay figured that scam out and made the fee due on the total charge including shipping.

eBay: Member Workshop: Sales Tax, Use Tax here is what the CEO of EBay has to say:EBay CEO Donahoe: Exempt Small Businesses From Internet Sales Tax "He cited the case of Colleen Rast, who employs three people in a clothes-selling business in Kallispell, Mont. Under the bill, she who would have to deal with the laws of more than 9,600 tax jurisdictions across the country, he claimed. “It would create costly paperwork and accounting burdens and subject her to potential audits and litigation from tax collectors in states that are more than 1,000 miles away from where she lives and works,” Donahoe said. Note he says that Ms Rast has the burden of collecting the tax. Nothing here about Ebay doing anything in regard to tax collection. But I do understand why you don't wish to debate the question. so done |

It's "what" should be cut...... that causes the problems. Since Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid and defense spending makes up about 65% of the budget..would you be for cutting those? It really boils down to whose ox is getting gored. ![]() . |

Re Sales tax at stores location instead of destination that doesn't work IMHO. Ok so Amazon has it's offices in Seattle you want to pay 10% tax on all purchases from Amazon. It has a system that ships from whatever warehouse can get it to you the fastest so would the sales tax go to the state that has the warehouse so you wouldn't know what you are paying until the item is shipped. It has to be none or the receipt location (the ship to) that is all that works. Also those of you relating this to national debt sales tax at the regional level has no affect on federal debt. Saying the alternative is state income tax doesn't work as the largest online retailer in the world is in a no income tax state. Or am I missing something

[QUOTE=OnTrack;668128]I'll bet you hear a bunch of sacred cow bawling around here, should SS and/or Medicare/Medicaid get cut.
I would be in favor of different threshold levels for Social Security retirement benefits based on other income (means qualifications) as well as for Medicare benefits. (Any idea what kind of animal is in my "avatar") |

![]() Decent guess - but, no. It is a Red Panda. Photo taken at the Washington DC National Zoo when I volunteered there. Lots of fun on that job. |
