HipStamp sellers reading this post have an opportunity to participate in the eCommerce Bytes Sellers Choice Marketplace Awards surveys. While many complain about eBay, this may be an opportunity to strike back.
While HipStamp lacks sales automation available on eBay through the SixBit eCommerce Solution, buyers are not subject to out-of-state sales tax collection. It is amazing to me that buyers continue to buy on eBay when the same item on HipStamp may not be subject to sales tax. While I don't expect this to last, buyers should take advantage while they can. Sellers not on HipStamp open an account and take advantage of eBay Sync to mirror listings on HipStamp.
Why participate in the survey?
If HipStamp sellers on this forum participate, they may help the site achieve better site visibility and, ultimately, increase sales.
Nominations Open for 2020 Sellers Choice Marketplace Awards

Most buyers don't buy on hip, because they don't know about it.
All my ebay buyers get a flyer promoting my items on here up to 50% off ebay prices. Maybe that will help some. 20% off for as little as 3 postcards purchased together.
And always free domestic shipping
In WI the tax form number for consumer use tax is UT-5.
For businesses they are combined into 1 form. and it's form ST-12.
Buyers are supposed to report the out of state sales tax (called use tax in most if not all states) on their income tax returns, and most don't do it.
So simply because they have been cheating forever, does not mean it is right. And most of all it does NOT give any site a benefit for not collecting taxes like the big sites do now.
I actually LIKE that ebay etc are now collecting from EVERYBODY. Because it finally puts us sellers who have been reporting and paying sales taxes for in state purchases on the same leveling field.
