We have to pay 10% sales tax now on all eBay purchases (never had to before).

As a new tax its hard enough to swallow on new items off ebay, but secondhand ones? That's a hard pill to have to swallow.

Yes Jim, Minnesota was one of the first few states to start adding sales tax, so I've had it a few months now 

I still have a hard time paying sales tax at antique shops... I always make my offer in cash, no tax. If they don't take it, I use a credit card so I can get 2% back. I know many of these small shops that hand write paper receipts are not turning in all of their sales...
