I'm not happy that eBay has started collecting taxes on purchases. Recently books I've been buying and have sent to my PO Box in WA have been taxed up the ying yang. 

Contact your elected officials. They are the ones who pushed this. With that said, governments need money. Raising income and property taxes look bad.this is a tax I believe most people were supposed to pay on their own before. Very few did.

EBay sales tax helps show and store dealers for sure.

Sadly I am a Canadian. I live right on the border and have books sent to the USA to pick up.

Well, you are often avoiding substantial Canadian taxes (and international postage) doing that, right?
