Greetings All - I'm having difficulty finding a clear answer to this question as well as current documentation on the topic.
Does PayPal automatically collect sales tax from a customer in an applicable area or does that need to be set up through the seller account, or applied on the invoice? If I sell through eBay, for example, the tax is already assessed and collected by eBay with no administrative actions required of me. But, I'm unclear how PayPal operates if selling direct through the system. Does the seller collect and then is responsible for remitting? There's no obvious information on that.
I've seen documentation that points to a 'tax table' in the profile that needs to be set up by the seller but no such item shows up in my profile. I am not a Business account, but I was once a Premier account that was merged with personal whenever that occurred. I do have a Merchant ID but have rarely invoiced through the system directly.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
