made my first 2019 ebay purchase yesterday, and got a surprise. the item was in California, and i'm in Washington State. when i went to pay it, the ebay invoice showed a line for sales tax. so i asked the seller about it, and he found this little message. he was surprised too, and so he did refund my tax later to satisfy me.
you first have to click on 'see details'. it will be interesting how this plays out. i know i will be changing my purchase habits in certain ways. i suppose in the big picture this direction is inevitable and understandable, but it is a new situation. i pay lots of taxes and i am ok (but not thrilled) with that. not wanting this message to be about whether taxes are good or bad in general (or who's fault that might be), just that this is new.....and be warned.
