<p>[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 3840966, member: 27832"]There's certainly <i>something</i> not right. I mean, if it were <i>dealers</i> flipping it, <i>they</i> wouldn't be paying sales tax on each transaction. In the past, sales between individuals have (in my experience) been "under the radar" and not taxed, whether or not they <i>should</i> have been.</p><p><br /></p><p>I suppose it's convenient for legislators to take the point of view that the Internet blurs the lines between wholesale and retail transactions, selling and reselling, and they might as well just tax it all so they don't miss anything. But I sure don't feel like a retailer when I sell an unwanted Christmas tchotchke on eBay, and while I (or the giver) already paid sales tax on it, I sure don't want to have to deal with the paperwork of reseller certificates and whatnot...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
