Anybody else notice the increase of sites that are now charging SALES TAX? I just went to put a couple of universal driveshafts into my cart from OmniModels on Ebay to see how much they'd charge to ship two pairs and suddenly there was around a $9 sales tax charge! (where i live it's super high like 10.x%) ... this is a huge bummer.
So then I just checked on Tower Hobbies - BAM, same thing! OMG! I realize 10% isn't much (especially in this hobby) but it does add up quickly and sure killed my shopping mood.
Now i'll be looking around more for places that I can avoid that tax hit. Coupon codes don't even cover it most of the time.
I think this is a new government requirement to get everyone who intentionally buys stuff online to avoid paying sales tax... I'm sure eventually they all will charge tax, but until then I will be avoiding the sites that do. So far none on Amain, might have to buy some expensive stuff soon from them because I'm sure the tax will come there too!
Anybody else got any experiences? Maybe we should make a list of places and whether or not they stick us for sales tax... Not sure if there is any value to anyone but with the high tax rate for my area it is a dealbreaker most of the time.
Tower Hobbies: TAXED
Amain: NO TAX
