<p>[QUOTE="MIGuy, post: 7751676, member: 116145"]Okay, thanks to this post, I'm getting a refund for some <b>years </b>of sales tax charges that my eBay purchases were exempt from. This was NOT a difficult nor unpleasant experience - it was kind of time consuming (about an hour and a half in chat while I watched Chopped, looked at coins and played with the dog) - I started with a clear explanation citing the relevant sales tax exemptions under my state law, then I started giving item numbers, then I asked if I could give order numbers instead because a lot of orders contained multiple items, then after about 45 minutes of me listing stuff the customer service guy (who was awesome - shout out to Juan at eBay) said he could go into my purchase history and do it himself, so that took a lot of time as I had a lot of relevant transactions, but he did all the work and would let me know what date he was on periodically, "I'm working on October, 2019...". And here is what happens now, from our chat "And now I am going to send the information that I have here to the tax department and they will take a look on the orders and the they will make the refund for you, and the time frame for the investigation and issue the refund is 10 to 15 business days, and then they will send all the information about the investigation process and the refund." </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I was impressed once I figured out how to get past the chat bot to a live person how helpful he was and I appreciated that he understood what I was asking for, and why and knew the process to follow. I highly recommend you check your state's law to see if rare coins (or all coin / currency) purchases are exempt from sales tax and that you reach out to eBay to address it, like I did, if they are and you've been charged anyway, as I was.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
