Got the MPF note from Gunbroker today

[spacecoast]

Gunbroker sent a reminder that they would be adding 36 states to the list of those they automatically collect sales tax for, acting as a "Marketplace Facilitator" (MPF). It appears that eight states are still not part of that, including Florida. I didn't bother to try and figure out all the others, but I see Alaska, Kansas, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon are missing as well.

Here's the complete list, with the states added not in bolded text:

Alabama
Arizona
Arkansas
California
Colorado
Connecticut
District of Columbia
Georgia
Hawaii
Illinois
Idaho
Indiana
Iowa
Kentucky
Louisiana
Maine
Maryland
Massachusetts
Michigan
Minnesota
Mississippi
Nebraska
Nevada
New Jersey
New Mexico
New York
North Carolina
North Dakota
Ohio
Oklahoma
Pennsylvania
Puerto Rico
Rhode Island
South Carolina
South Dakota
Tennessee
Texas
Utah
Vermont
Virginia
Washington
West Virginia
Wisconsin
Wyoming

How is Gunbroker going to collect and remit sales tax on purchases when payment is sent directly to the seller? I'm wondering if the sales tax collected is going to be on the selling fee that Gunbroker is charging (and not he actual sale of item).

Yes, added to your fee, but also included on the buyer's statement on the GB order. I sold some ammo, and sales tax showed up on the buyer's statement. Since I had not noted this in my listing, I sent the guy a note to just pay what he bid (shipping was on me). The sales tax showed up on my monthly statement.
