Sold something on eBay the other day [View all]



I'm not a big time ebay seller or anything like that.

Once in a great while I might sell something I have two of or something that I no longer want or need as was the case with the item I sold for ~$35.00.

The buyer's invoice showed taxes due on the win.

He did not care to pay taxes and canceled his bid after the auction ended. I paid seller's fees but got them back.

Has anyone else had this problem?

If so, has it affected your selling on ebay?

Curious to read about what you may have to say about this as I let the guy off the hook and sold it to the next highest bidder (no tax was due on the 2nd highest bidder). A bit confused I am, are you too?

Thanks for your replies.
