Hi everyone,

I just set up a new account on Paypal – but I don’t know the first thing about tax.

Do I have to set up every single state’s sales tax amount? That seems like a lot of work :c(

Also, if I sell something to England or other countries… do I have to set up their sales tax?

Is there a way for Paypal somehow make this easy for me?

Please help!

I am purchasing an existing retail store averaging $35k in sales per month. Should I keep the same merchant providers and equipment or shop around? Any recommendations on the multitude of account providers out there?

The merchant insists on charging full City+State tax rate for my online purchase, but I happen to live outside of city limits, and so should only pay the state rate and no city tax.
It’s an ongoing problem that continues despite several people having drawn it to the merchant’s attention on various occasions.
I will try to get a refund (after the fact) by calling and writing to the merchant. But clearly they won’t fix the underlying problem, so I think it should be brought to the attention of the appropriate regulatory authorities. Whom should I contact?

I have a source for inexpensive computer expuipment that I would like to begin selling on Ebay. However I have to pay sales tax from the provider, unless I have a Merchant ID.
Anyone know how I can get a Merchant ID?
