charging tax in Classified Ads??


I have seen quite a few ads recently from no feedback users selling all sorts of gear, many of it tubes, asking for XX% of tax if you reside in certain states...nowhere in their ad does it state they are a business/dealer/reseller. what do you do?, ask for a tax ID#?..ive noticed this happens a bit on ebay, id like to know if the extra 8% is going to the proper hands.

I know a lot of poeple have different oppions on this on. The state sales tax on internet sales moritorium was extended till the fine folks on capital hill can come up with a sollution that benifit all. I work for a well estabished company with 70 employes and eight branch store`s two year`s ago they dove into internet sale`s last year we did 1.75 M in internet sale`s.Our internet sale`s are a small portion of our business, sale`s we would have not had. Since we are only in WA state Wa state customer`s only pay sale`s tax since we have a BRICK AND MORTER STORE in this state. We DO NOT collet sales tax if it is a out of state internet purchase only shipping applies in almost all case`s Let me repeat we are a reputable business that does what the laws require and for now they are tax exempt.
