    Ebay seller scamming sales tax

    Yes, the tax is higher, but their infrastructure isn't falling apart, unlike ours. And the 'excluded tax' concept here is just a bad policy/mindset by retailers. AND it doesn't alter the fact that the USA system is screwed up.

    Ebay seller scamming sales tax

    All the comments made here only go to prove how screwed up our sales tax system is.

    My Custom Fishing Machine 18'-0" Flat Bottom

    I can't remember how I found the post. It just looked like it would be top heavy, however I guess I was forgetting the pods on the transom. It look more like a military assault boat than a fisherman's. All you need now is a 3" gun on the bow, and you could go submarine hunting. :D
