I've been paying taxes on kindle books fora while - thanks to them putting a warehouse in texas somewhere

Hmmm....maybe it's a private (unlisted) group? Yes, just realized it is. It definitely has VF members in it, so I'm not sure how people can join at this point.

I wonder why eBay isn't requiring this. I buy and sell plenty on there....

The sales tax for Texas residents - even on Kindle books delivered via the Internet - is because of a legal settlement with the Texas AG's Office. Texas was going to sue Amazon because they had some sort of warehouse in the DFW area, I think, and that's enough of a "nexus" for Texas to say they have to charge sales tax.

I think the requirement for a tax ID number is an overly zealous or overly cautious approach by Amazon. The 1099 dollar threshold is way higher than where they are requiring tax ID's from their sellers. I was doing tax work when they first started asking for Tax ID numbers - I knew the rules and argued with them about it, but they would not budge.

I can't find the vf group. Maybe it's a secret group. We need to start a trade or sell group.
