TAX TAKEN FOR SALES TO USA

[arthurswedgwood]

Ebay are taking tax for all items sold to the USA. This has only been happening for past few months, so why are they taxing, and why just the USA?

Blame the USA tax authorities, they decided buyers in USA have to pay it, ebay collects tax from buyer & sends to USA tax man.

Aistralia also have a similar scheme.

THe US might be taking tax, but why is the seller in the UK paying it??

Seller is not paying it, buyer is.
Tax appears on invoice sent to buyer.
