I don't believe the collection of taxes is something that ebay is in any way in control of or wants to do. But with miliions (or possibly billions) of dollars of transactions that are well documented, of course the Liberal government wants their piece of that pie.
I had dealt with some ebay sellers in the past that said they were collecting Manitoba provincial tax. I asked one what his Manitoba PST tax number was and did not get a response. Personally, I think it was just another way to skim 8% in profits.
