Are you sure you are receiving the tax in your paypal account and it is not just showing as part of the customer invoice?

you're right, I went back and double checked the emails I received from paypal vs logging into my paypal account and checking the transaction summaries there. On the email summary it just notes the credits (i.e. bid value, added postage and added tax but does not note the debits, i.e paypal fee and ebay handled tax). When you log in to your account the full transaction summary shows the tax fee as a deduction handled by ebay. But I don't recall seeing this until very recently, they may have tweaked how they present the info.  so nothing to see here... 

I just noticed that for the last couple of items I sold on ebay the customers were charged sales tax that was included in my paypal payment (first one was on 11/23/19). I knew ebay started charging sales tax a while ago (I am in NJ) but I thought they handled it, does this mean that sellers now have to deal with keeping track of and reporting this when they file their taxes?

Sunday is online only. 

that's what I thought, so I don't get the 'live' portion on the weekly auction. Also, now with all bidding closed I won a lot with my absolute maximum bid (including a + "1 increment protection bid" while my winning high bid when 'internet bidding' closed was significantly lower, seems shady... I am not a frequent HA customer and I have question for the repeat customers: how often do you find your winning bids hitting right at your maximum? 

can someone clarify how heritage auctions work? I just noticed that once internet bidding closes there is additional 'live bidding'. so it seems that even if you are the winning bidder when internet bidding ends you can still get outbid, is this at a brick and mortar location or by phone? I'd get this for the big feature auctions but I thought the weekly Sunday Comics, Animation & Art aucitons were online only?

The piece is currently listed on eBay and ends tomorrow. There are several bids and a ton of watchers, so bid early and high, don’t let this one pass you by!

Nice large (14"x17" artboard) sketch of Natalia from Blacksad by creator Juanjo Guarnido, $300. Guarnido makes few US appearances so don't let this piece pass you by!

Update: I ended up sending the piece (a couple hundred dollar modern art panel page) after all, I made sure the packaging was bulletproof and crossed my fingers. It arrived eleven days ago and today the buyer left positive feedback so everything worked out.

great stuff.  I've been meaning to pick up a volume of the IDW Corto Maltese collected editions, can anyone who is a fan recommend which is a good one to start with? I figured it may not be the chronological first or earliest published material. 

also, has anyone else been having trouble logging onto the CGC forum recenty?
