I was just surfing through eBay, when I came across a person charging sales
tax in addition to the usual S&H on lots.  Is this usual?  It seems really • odd
to tax someone on a previously taxed, resale item.  I was just wondering if
anyone else had an opinion on this.

If he's registered as a business, then he has to charge sales tax to
buyers in his state. I have to charge GST to Canadian buyers, and
Provincial Sales Tax to buyers in my province. Because I do so few sales
here compared to those in the US and overseas, I mostly just eat it
rather than put it in my listings, but I guess I should for things which
might go for high prices like large sets where I wouldn't want to eat
that much tax.

Thanks, Kevin.  I had not considered a registered business.  I was thinking
along the same lines as Shiri.
