"FYI - NEW FEDERAL LAW AFFECTING ONLINE SALES State Tax is now being collected from most US States on purchases made online, INCLUDING eBay purchases. Your invoice may reflect a charge for this tax to your specific state. eBay collects this tax and remits it directly to your state's Taxation and Revenue agency. Your seller has no choice in this matter, and never receives this money - it is all handled behind the scenes by ebay."
