People what to send me the money and I am to send them all this information that isn't even about the house . Is there a different way to sell it online other then eBay . Any help is great . Sounds like the Nigerian scammers are contacting you. I get about 5 emails a week from them because of my website. I delete them without replying. If you haven't tried trying to sell it locally, I would suggest putting an ad in a local newspaper or maybe your community has an online bulletin board. Now is a good time of year because people are looking for them for Christmas. If you have a dollhouse shop nearby, ask them if they will take it on consignment. Make sure you get a receipt. It's hard to sell dollhouses online because people don't want to pay the shipping cost involved. Carol S P Miniatures http://www.spminiatures.com |

Carol S P Miniatures http://www.spminiatures.com One of the reasons I ordered the Queen Ann Dollhouse "Kit by Real Good Toys" on the internet was to save on sales tax. I cant remember what the shipping was. The sales tax where I live is 8.25, so I about $70 dollars on that part. |

Somewhat off topic: A little known or much ignored fact is that if there is a sales tax in your state you are required to pay a "use tax" on any purchases for which you didn't pay sales tax because it was sent from out of state. I'm sure that the number of people who pay this tax is infinitely small which is why the states are continually pestering congress to pass a law requiring that sales tax be collected on all mail order.

Depends on your state. In NYS, "Use Tax" refers to items you purchase for business use (hence the term) and do not pay tax on. For my business, this would include lumber, finishes, tools, etc. Sales tax is subject to agreements between your home state and the state you purchase from. Most states don't seem to have reciprocal sales tax agreements with NYS, since most things I buy online and mailorder aren't taxed. It is up to the vendor to collect and pay the sales tax, not the purchaser to voluntarily pay it. -- Chuck *#:^) chaz3913(AT)yahoo(DOT)com Anti-spam sig: please remove "NO SPAM" from e-mail address to reply.

It is up to the vendor to collect and pay the sales tax, not the purchaser to voluntarily pay it. As is said, "Your mileage may vary" In California, it's the BUYER's responsibility to report and pay the sales tax - called a use tax - on anything acquired from outside the state and brought into CA, whether via mail order, internet, etc. There's an unauthenticated report that about two years ago, somebody actually complied. SELLERS who maintain a physical presence in the state are required to collect the sales tax. (Except for motor vehicles - THAT they've got a hard grip on!) - Herb |

Most states don't seem to have reciprocal sales tax agreements with NYS, since most things I buy online and mailorder aren't taxed. It is up to the vendor to collect and pay the sales tax, not the purchaser to voluntarily pay it. I disagree with you. A business pays a "use tax" if they purchase something, don't pay sales tax on the purchase, but then decide to keep or use it for non-business purposes. If you look at the sales and use tax rules on web sites for states you will find the use tax mentioned and it's on purchases made out of state or delivered from out of state where no sales tax was paid. A vendor can only collect taxes for a state if they have a license to do so, or there is a reciprocal aggreement between the states in which the vendor has a license and the state where the purchase is made. If the vendor doesn't collect tax then it is up to the purchaser to pay the tax. If the vendor collects the tax it's a "sales tax" if the purchaser pays it, it's a "use tax". A use tax us not "voluntary" it's required of the purchaser to pay the tax. If a vendor doesn't collect sales tax that doesn't mean the person doesn't have to pay a tax unless the purchase if for resale. Here are a couple of state websites which are very clear about the use tax http://forms.marylandtaxes.com/current_forms/usetax.pdf and another is http://www.arkansas.gov/dfa/excise_t...structions.pdf There are so few people actually paying use taxes, or even knowing about them, that it has become an erroneous , but accepted fact, that out of state purchases are free of sales taxes.
