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.

Just refuse to pay it. Unless you are in the same state they are in, they cannot charge tax. Sounds like a scam to me.
