I just noticed that when you purchase something on EBay, not only do you pay tax (depending on State, I presume)
on the Item, but also on the Shipping cost. Is that legit?
I don't recall ever paying taxes on mailing of merchandise from an online store to me as "part of the purchase price".
In fact, I question as to whether EBay actually remits this "tax" to the requisite State or just pockets it.
I know that some sellers have in the past made the Buy-It-Now ridiculously low to avoid tax and then made up for it
on higher-than-actual shipping costs, so that may factor into this issue.
