Message:: [QUOTE="ddddd, post: 24792453, member: 22377"]I'm in Illinois too and eBay has some sort of algorithm that tries to pick out words (like medal, token, and possibly "Commem" or "Commemorative") in titles to charge tax. Most of the time, it works fine. However, I have won some items that were in the proper category that is not taxable (US Commemoratives) but eBay applied the Illinois sales tax to the sale. I could probably file a complaint with eBay but it's not worth the hassle over a few dollars (and they know that too, so there is little incentive to change things). I also tested it by adding several items from that category to my cart and some had tax while others did not (none were listed in a second category). This is how I figured the difference must be in the listing title or description (when the word medal or token is there, tax is added-likely because medals and tokens are technically taxable in Illinois). edit: here is the latest example:[ATTACH=full]1586123[/ATTACH] Note that the item was listed in the correct category:[ATTACH=full]1586124[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
