Has Paypal suddenly started charging sales tax?


Is this new, even for interstate purchases, and even between private parties?
Does it apply just to Paypal Invoices?
Has anyone experienced this?

It's real. I had to pay state sales tax last year on my PayPal sales. They submitted a tax form to my state government.
I bought speaker cables yesterday from my pay pal account, no Florida tax was added
The Supreme Court's internet Sales June tax ruling Is billion-dollar boon for states The U.S. Supreme Court says states are allowed to collect sales taxes from online retailers that don’t have a have a physical presence in their borders. By a 5-4 vote in the case South Dakota v. Wayfair, the majority overturned the court's 1992 decision in Quill v. North Dakota, which had affirmed the “physical presence” test for state sales-and-use tax collections. This stinks big time. What will they tax next, breathing air?

@gnason - Like I posted above, this was largely the doing of Amazon.  When they started to add fullfilment centers in many states, they lost their competitive advantage of not having to collect sales taxes for most transactions.  In order to even things up with smaller e-tailers, they pushed hard to overturn Quill v, ND.  Just keep in mind that consumers were always responsible for paying sales taxes to whatever states they made a purchase from.  Quill v. ND just prevented states from compelling mail order retailers to collect and submit sales taxes from out-of-state customers.


@mantaman - IIRC, Florida has no state sales tax, just as some other states, like NH.
