affected by this also.

eBay Canada collecting Canadian Sales Tax as of July 1, 2022
Dear eBay Canada Seller,
Pursuant to the guidelines announced in Canada’s 2021 Federal Budget and recent
provincial sales tax amendments, eBay Canada Limited (“eBay”) will be required
to collect Canadian sales taxes (GST/HST/QST/PST) on applicable sales to Canada-based
buyers.
Effective July 1, 2022, for all sales of tangible goods sold within Canada, eBay
will be collecting the Canadian sales taxes (GST/HST/QST/ PST) from Canada-based
buyers on behalf of Canada-based sellers (irrespective of registration status)
and remitting the tax to the appropriate tax authorities.
For sellers not registered to collect tax with the CRA and provinces, there is
no action necessary. You will begin to see sales taxes charged and collected
by eBay on buyer purchases beginning in July. eBay collected taxes will also
be displayed in your seller reporting as of that date.
For GST/HST and/or QST registered sellers, eBay will be appointed as a billing
agent for collection and remittance of Canadian sales taxes where the sales tax
laws do not automatically require it. As such, eBay will require completion of
billing agent authorization forms. A separate communication for GST/HST and QST-registered
sellers will be forthcoming.
With this change in sales tax collection responsibilities, eBay aims to alleviate
our sellers of the administrative burden to accurately charge and collect sales
taxes on taxable sales made through the platform. eBay is taking over this responsibility
for all sellers – not just those that are not registered – in an effort to simplify
the experience for our community. Any questions or concerns about tax collection
will be handled by eBay Customer Service.
eBay will also be responsible for collection of the Canadian sales taxes on supplies
to Canada-based buyers of digitally downloaded goods, including sales from non-Canadian
sellers.
eBay’s Terms & Conditions and vendor agreements will be updated to implement
these changes and provide for compliance with applicable laws.
Additional information about the federal measures can be found at the CRA site
or by calling their hotline: Notification and information reporting: GST/HST
for digital economy businesses - Canada.ca
Please consult with your tax advisor if you have specific questions or concerns
about these changes.
If you have any questions or comments, please post them on our Community forum
here.
As always, thank you for selling on eBay.
The eBay Canada Team"

| Sounds like a plan! Although you said you didn't have a date it would be
ready by I'm curious if there is a date range like 1 month, 6 months, 1 year,
etc.
