<p>There appears to be some good news, at least, about these taxes. I think, though I’m not certain, that the IST is usually not more than 5 % in most states...and often less. </p>
<p>I thought the taxes would be much more because...in the city in which I live in Kansas (Overland Park, Kansas, population 180,000), the city sales tax is 9%, which apparently is quite high compared to other cities throughout America.</p>

<p>What is the INTERNET SALES TAX IN YOUR STATE? I think it would interesting and perhaps useful information to have.</p>
<p>My state is KANSAS. Right now, we pay 0% internet sales tax.</p>

<p>I think variety is the answer. I do not just sell autographs. I sell more books and art than I do autographs. As a customer I get annoyed with Amazon, they charge me Vermont and Connecticut sales tax. I reside in CT. nine months, so CT would be my primary residence. My health has been an issue, so at some point I will leave CT. In Connecticut they tax everything. </p>

<p>As a buyer, it may be worthwhile to make an offer at a ten percent discount in order to absorb the cost of the additional tax.</p>

<p>For those interested, here is a link to the page that lists what states eBay collects tax for. You need to scroll down the page a little: <a href="https://www.ebay.com/help/buying/paying-items/paying-tax-ebay-purchases?id=4771" target="_blank">https://www.ebay.com/help/buying/paying-items/paying-tax-ebay-purchases?id=4771</a></p>
<p>They make it really hard to find.</p>

<p>Nothing is impossible, it just takes a little creativity. I have taken a number of sales off eBay, particularly when I am contacted directly by a potential buyer.</p>

<p>I’ve done it probably three times over the years on higher priced items. It’s hard to feel guilty because I know I’ve made ebay plenty of money over the years. Ebay won’t allow contact information to be exchanged like phone numbers or email addresses. So you’ve got to be creative in sending information between each other. </p>
