    Hi

    I sell postcards through my own site in Canada and use the Paypal shopping cart system. I must charge sales tax to customers in Canada and have set my Paypal profile to do this. Problem is I now sell on Delcampe also, and was surprised to find out that I am not obliged to charge sales tax to Canadians on these sales. It seems I cannot have 2 Paypal accounts so what do I do?

    I sent this question to Paypal and they answered: PayPal will pull applicable shipping and tax from your PayPal Profile unless these values are specifically sent to PayPal in the checkout code of the sales venue (i.e. Delcampe wallet). Does anyone know how I can do this and prevent sales tax being charged to my Canadian customers?

    Thanks

    You can have a 2nd Paypal account, but you need a 2nd bank account and a different email address.

    As far as your other question is concerned, I haven't got a clue. Maybe you should ask Delcampe support directly, if this is possible.

    Hi

    Delcampe support totally misunderstood my problem and gave me useless advice. A 2nd Paypal account for Delcampe and ebay is all I need, so thanks a lot for the tip!
