Re: Anyone else receive this "ebay"warning?

Beyond the fact that the Congress does have the authority to regulate interstate commerce via the Commerce Clause, this statement is completely false. I already took the time to explain why and offered some practical advice but the website timed me out and I lost my post. You will have to forgive me for not re-typing it.

Let me add that for the most part collectors really never have to worry about taxes on the sales side.

The area that should concern collectors is on the purchase side. Sales/use taxes are transaction taxes. One or the other is due on the transaction (unless an exemption exists). If you do not pay sales tax at the time of purchase you owe use tax. Just because you (generally speaking) bought it on ebay or from someone who didn't collect sales tax doesn't mean the purchase is not subject to taxation.

Just know you do have a tax liability to your home state. However the likelihood of that coming back to bite you is very remote.
