Got this from eBay today -

User Agreement and Tax Policy Updates

Together with PayPal, we’re updating how we process and collect tax. From November 2019, we’re updating the eBay User Agreement and our Tax Policy to reflect this change.

This change affects transactions where we’re required to collect tax in the jurisdiction where the item is being delivered. That includes orders up to AU $1,000 imported to Australia, or exports to certain US states.

We’ll continue collecting any required tax from buyers. If tax applies to your purchase, you’ll see the confirmed amount before finalising your order.

Sellers will now receive payment for the gross order amount, including tax. Once settled, we’ll automatically deduct the tax amount for remittance. Sellers can see a record of tax collected on the Seller Hub order details page or on their downloadable order report.

Next Steps

You don’t need to do anything. If you have any questions about tax or how this may affect you, we’d recommend you speak with a tax advisor.
I got that letter too Jim, although I don't completely understand it, I don't need a lawyer to know that we're getting hosed
