Tax Exempt Purchaes on Ebay

Hello,

 

Ebay does not allow for tax exempt purchases, and if I check out through paypal I will automatically be charged sales tax for purchases within Texas(my state).

 

When paypal collects these taxes are they passed over to the seller?  Is there any way to collect a refund without the seller submitting a refund?  Or since this was all done through paypal, can I get a refund from paypal?

 

Thanks,

Lumenesc,

 

Sales tax settings are created, charged, and maintained by individual sellers.  If you are a tax-exempt entity, you would want to reach out to the sellers in question.  They could either refund you or send you a special link to pay them directly, although the direct payments would negate your ability to file a claim with eBay.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Adrian
