Kindle books are not tangible property

I looked up a past order for tax software and there was no state tax on that either.
thx

I believe, and I may be wrong, but software is tax free, but if you elect to get the CD, then it's taxable.
Downloading the software = no tax.... ask for it on a CD = taxable event

That's my opinion.

All sellers, even individuals that are not businesses, are required to collect sales tax to meet the regulations. GunBroker.com will assist you with the calculation, collection and remittance of the sales tax due.

GunBroker.com will calculate the sales tax required and add it to the order during the checkout process. The tax calculation will be based on the Ship To address on the order. This is the location of the Buyer not the location of the Seller.

Well, at least I'm pretty much done with my GunBroker buys for now... We'll see about the future.

I sold an item in GB to someone in NJ, and the sales tax showed up on my monthly GB statement.

I sold something on Gunbroker, and it hit me for taxes too.

What was odd is, they invoiced me for the listing fees/final value fee and taxes separately.

It automatically hit my card for the monthly fees, no problems.

When it tried to hit my card for the “taxes” it failed, says it must be a credit card, not a Visa Debit card or something.

I don’t know why I can use my card to pay THEIR fees but can’t use the same card for the taxes I have to “middle man” for them.

Dunno.

I currently have a non paying bidder who defaulted on a $2399 Ed Brown pistol, not only am I waiting on the refund of the auction fees, but Gb wants to tag me for $172 in tax ( that I also didn't collect ) and then have me wait for 60 + days a refund after the dispute process , if I didn't have 19 other auction going right now I would yank all my banking and CC info and tell them to bill me after they get it figured out

Help me understand as I have not used GB in years.

Why does GB bill the seller for sales tax? Every other "retailer" collects the sales tax from the buyer, not the seller. Or does GB include the sales tax in the total the buyer pays and the sales tax flows to the seller and then the seller has to pay GB the sales tax.

Is it a scheme for GB to collect higher fees as they now include the sales tax in their fee calculation?

buyer pays sales tax, Gunbroker is whats called a Marketplace Facilitator and thus collecting the tax on the sale, so if the buyer pays via money order or cashiers check Gb never sees the money and bills the seller, if the buyer uses the GB checkout (their credit processing) they snatch the money out and tell you what they collected

Gb fees are charged on the auction price before shipping, handling and tax

since you haven't used it in years, either just deal with it or complain like the rest of the people who don't use it currently, and understand, follow or know which way is up , we will soon see all the rants from them in here as well.
