Does the PayPal account activity description say, "EBay Inc Payment" ? Then they could be eBay Final Value Fees. Did you sell some items on ebay?

I was trying to find out the same thing.  I dug a little deeper and found out that certain states are collecting sales tax on purchases based on the purchasers' shipping address.  I found out my state started collecting this on Feb 1st this year.

I'm thinking it's sales tax added on. I found this article:

Original post: eBay has begun to collect sales tax in Washington & Minnesota as of January 1st, 2019. eBay will also begin collecting sales tax in these other states on the following dates:

  • Iowa, February 1, 2019
  • Connecticut, April 1, 2019
  • New Jersey, May 1, 2019
  • Alabama, July 1, 2019
  • Oklahoma, July 1, 2019
  • Pennsylvania, July 1, 2019

This stems from the supreme court ruling (South Dakota v. Wayfair) regarding internet sales tax. This means that states may now charge tax on purchases made from out-of-state sellers, even if they have no physical presence in that state. I’ll let readers argue the merits of this in the comments, this is really just a note to let people know about eBay collecting these taxes.
