Do I have to charge a Tax Amount?

Well, it depends… We recommend that you check the “rules” that are in place for your state. We provide the Tax field for you to use if needed, we do not make it required. You are responsible for ensuring that you are following the laws and regulations for selling on consignment in your state/area.

For Example, in California, if you are selling on an ongoing basis (i.e. continually selling items for 90 days or more), then technically you are “in business” as a consignment retailer and must have a CA resale license, and must charge 7.75% when selling on our website to other CA residents. Otherwise, if you utilize our website to sell an item “every now and then”, then the sales tax does not apply.

How long is an item listed for?

Items are listed until up to 90 days, or until they sell. If a listing is not sold after 90 days, then it is considered expired. However, the seller can Relist the item.
