What are you guys putting for sales tax to be collected on ebay? I live in Texas and ebay used to collect it automatically but ever since ebay re-did their entire seller user interface it now gives me the option to collect sales tax by state or region for a set percentage when I am setting up a listing. I just ignored that setting on my latest listing and when it sold, I looked at the transaction and there was no sales tax collected (of course). I assume it is now solely on us to properly set this up.

I know on myslabs if I sell a slab to someone in Texas it will charge them tax. When I looked at my past ebay transactions it was automatically collecting tax for every state. I am doing my best to try to read and understand this but if someone has a simple answer that would be really helpful!

Nothing Ebay figures it and collects it themselves if you tery to put anything in there that makes you responible for collecting and filing it with all the states yourself. The buyer you sold to likely either is exempt or in a state that does not collect it.
