Aviation Safety Reporting Program
This advisory circular (AC) describes the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Aviation Safety Reporting Program (ASRP) which utilizes the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as a third party to receive and process Aviation Safety Reports. This cooperative safety reporting program invites pilots, controllers, Flight Attendants (F/A), maintenance personnel, dispatchers, and other users of the National Airspace System (NAS), or any other person, to report to NASA actual or potential discrepancies and deficiencies involving the safety of aviation operations. The operations covered by the program include departure, en route, approach, and landing operations and procedures; air traffic control (ATC) procedures and equipment; crew and ATC communications; aircraft cabin operations; aircraft movement on the airport; near midair collisions (NMAC); aircraft maintenance and recordkeeping; and airport conditions or services. The effectiveness of this program in improving safety depends on the free, unrestricted flow of information from the users of the NAS. Based on information obtained from this program, the FAA will take corrective action as necessary to remedy defects or deficiencies in the NAS. The reports may also provide data for improving the current system and planning for a future system. |

There are marked variations between nations in reported subjective well-being (SWB), but the explanations for this diversity have not been fully explored. It is possible that the differences are entirely due to true variability in SWB, but it is also reasonable that the differences may be due to factors related to self-report measurement such as variation across nations in whether it is desirable to say one is happy. At a substantive level, there might be differences in the norms governing the experience of emotion such that cultural differences in SWB are due to affective regulation. Pacific Rim countries (e.g., Japan, the People's Republic of China, and S. Korea) appear to have lower SWB than their material circumstances warrant, and the U.S.A. has higher SWB than is predicted based on its income per person. The genesis of these differences was explored by comparing students in S. Korea, Japan, and the People's Republic of China to students in the U.S.A., and it was concluded that: (1) The Pacific Rim subjects score lower on both happiness and life satisfaction in both absolute terms and when income is controlled, (2) There probably is not a general negative response set in the Pacific Rim which causes lower SWB, as evidenced by the fact that the Asians express dissatisfaction in some areas (e.g., education and self) but not in other areas (e.g., social relationships), (3) Artifacts are not causing the lower reported SWB, (4) The general suppression of mood in the Pacific Rim is unlikely to be the cause of SWB differences, but Chinese students do appear to avoid negative affect, (5) SWB is no less important and salient in Japan and S. Korea, but does appear to be a less central concern in China, and (6) There are different patterns of well-being depending on whether life satisfaction or hedonic balance are considered.

Northern Thai
If any cuisine is on fire (quite literally - this stuff is spicy!) these days, it's the Isaan and other cuisine of Northern and Northeastern Thailand. Typical dishes include the chopped-meat salads known as laab and Chiang Mai speciality khao soi, a curry noodle soup, versions of which are gaining fans at NYC's Pok Pok and Uncle Boons; khao soi will also be the signature at upcoming Brooklyn Thai joint Kao Soy. What's more, an offshoot of Bangkok's Somtum Der just opened in the East Village with an Isaan menu, and Qi in Union Square will soon become Qi Isaarn. In Austin, Sway has garnered much praise for its "modern-Thai" menu, which includes some Northern specialties like nam prik, or chile dip, and kai yaang, or charcoal-grilled chicken. And in DC, Little Serow's weekly changing prix fixe frequently offers nam prik and other Northern and Northeastern Thai foods.

This came out yesterday. I just obtained it, and it's currently in my Playstation, downloading. I may be absent from GT for a while...I've been waiting for this game ever since it was announced. I SO EXCITED!!!!
I got the Strategy Guide and a free download code for FFVII Cloud's outfit, which I'll be downloading next. It's been a while (over a year, I think?) since I played a game I actually gave this much of a shit about.
So long, normal life. Time to return to gaming for a while...hehehehe

Lauren Rabaino and Sam Sanders field questions after their panel. Photo by Joe Grimm
By Joe Grimm
"Workin' It," a panel at the Online News Association's 2011 conference, put four young journalists front and center to talk about how they landed jobs that make them the envy of their generation of journalists.
Here's how they responded to two of the questions put to them by Douglas Mitchell, moderator of the Sept. 22 panel.
Mitchell: "What do you think was the key thing to get you the job you have now?"
Juana Summers, national political reporter, Politico: "I am a really big nerd. I live, sleep and breathe politics." She joked that this did not help with her grades at the University of Missouri, but it helped her get the experience valued by Politico, which wants people who are "intensely interested in politics." Summers was a Chips Quinn intern and worked at the Austin American-Statesman in the summer of 2009.Sam Sanders, assistant producer at NPR's national desk: "I think, as young people, a lot of us will make friends with people our own age who like the things we like, but a lot of times the people we meet are not in a position to help us.
"As young people, we have to not be intimidated by people who are older than us and senior to us."
Every time he got a job, Sanders said, it was because someone who was senior to him in another company called one of his older professional friends or mentors.
Lauren Rabaino, associate producer, The Seattle Times: "Being willing to take on a ton of side projects … and being able to go without sleep," launched her career. Rabaino proudly tells people that she zipped through college in 2.5 years and told the ONA audience that her last semester of college included at least 12 more credits than she was supposed to take and lots of side work.
"Not worrying about losing sleep for a few months or a year" helped her succeed, she said.
Andy Boyle, newsroom web developer for The Boston Globe and Boston.com: "I would spend Friday and Saturday not at home dorking out and building stuff." Staying home instead of socializing "helped me build stuff and build skills. You can still go out and have a good time with your friends, but every once in a while you have to stay home to maintain your skill set and learn new stuff."If a boss knows you can teach yourself something, they're going to love that."
Mitchell: "What is your biggest fear now professionally?"
Boyle: "Not having managerial support in doing what you were hired to do, especially in developing new technologies. My big fear is the fear of complacency."
Rabaino: "I'm afraid of falling behind. It is really easy to fall into the group think and the habits that are traditionally embedded in newsrooms."
Sanders: "I'm worried about being typecast." When Sanders blogged and wrote opinion columns for his college paper, he was worried about being seen as an opinion writer. He worried that coming from a newspaper would keep him from working in radio. And when he worked in radio, he worried that he wouldn't be able to work on the web. Now that he is on the web, his goals are "to learn video and to code seriously."
Summers: "Burning out. I worry that, after 2012, there is always 2016 and there is always something else. I wonder when the not sleeping will catch up with me."
Joe Grimm, a consultant and adjunct faculty member of the Freedom Forum Diversity Institute, recruited for the Detroit Free Press, Knight Ridder and Gannett from 1990 until 2008. He now teaches at the Michigan State University School of Journalism. He has run the JobsPage journalism careers site at www.jobspage.com since 1996. Questions about careers?

The devastating aftermath of Hurricane Katrina has prompted many companies, including cruise lines, to reach into their hearts and wallets to aid the relief effort.
One of the most notable gestures thus far is
's decision to lease three ships to the federal government for the next six months to house evacuees. Admittedly, Carnival will be paid $192 million and will get another $44 million in expenses, according to media reports -- but in leasing these vessels to the government the cruise line will not receive income from bars, shore excursions, casinos, etc.
A few questions we've heard are "Is there a way for passengers to make donations through cruise lines?" and "Are cruise lines themselves making significant contributions to the relief and recovery?" We've compiled a list of links to charitable organizations that are aiding hurricane relief --

. Also, over the past few days, Cruise Critic has been surveying all major cruise lines and many smaller-ship lines to find answers to those questions.
Carnival Cruise Lines
How are they helping?
Carnival is chartering
to the U.S. government to serve Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. All three will serve for six months. At this point, FEMA is planning to use at least the two Galveston-based ships (Ecstasy and Sensation) to house evacuees, primarily the elderly and single-parent families.
Carnival employees have the option to donate to the American Red Cross via one-time lump sum payments or bi-weekly payroll deductions through December 30, 2005.
The line is also hosting various fundraisers both shipboard and shoreside; all monies raised will be matched dollar for dollar by the company. The program began on Friday (September 2), and $10,000 was raised in less than one day.

HOLLYWOOD – Hermey, 63, who won an Emmy Award for playing a nerdy misfit elf who wanted to be a dentist in the Rankin/Bass stop-motion animation classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, has landed his first regular TV gig in more than a decade. He'll co-star opposite Kirstie Alley and Rhea Perlman in the TV Land pilot Giant Baby, according to Variety.
Hermey's career was derailed in 2006 when he shouted the N-word at black hecklers in a racially-charged meltdown at Hollywood's Laugh Factory. Hermey made a public apology via satellite on the Late Show with David Letterman, with Rudolph vouching for his character.

Mar 5, 2011Rango is far less charming than Disney or Pixar -- and more profane than any other "family oriented" animated feature I've seen. But it's cleverly written and beautifully animated, thus winning older audiences.
Mar 16, 2011Rango isn't a kids film, and it knows it. Riddled with adult humor, violence, and some pretty ugly characters, it's the perfect playground for a western lover such as myself. It pays little bits of homage to various westerns and is absolutely gorgeous to watch. Great animation, great humor, great story, and most important of all: A great western.
Mar 8, 2011If you throw in a lizard, Beetle Juice, Salvador Dali, and a small Western town into a blender you get Rango. I must admit, the plot could have been more original, and the dialogue funnier - but the magnificently nightmarish characters keep you mesmerized. Nadim Basna
Mar 5, 2011
May 14, 2011Hands down the best movie ive seen this year so far. I enjoyed every second of this awesome animated picture. It is Gore Verbinski's best film and i hope that they make sequels because this was well worth $10.50
Feb 4, 2012
Jul 30, 2011This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Mar 9, 2011Why did I love this movie? Well, you got a director who directed one of the best trilogies ever, you got Johnny Depp, and you got George Lucas's ILM, the guys behind some of the best special effects seen in movies, animating the movie. Not to mention a great homage to the Western genre. 10/10!
May 3, 2011This is the best animated film I have seen in a long time. Beautiful movie, absolutely fantastic to look at. Btw, all you over-sensitive idiots, this is what I would have wanted as a kid, a film that treats you like an adult.
May 1, 2011Neither an artful Hayao Miyazaki nor a glossy Pixar production, however Rango stands on its own, with a bonkers of a story, great animation, intelligent directing and lots of fun!
Mar 9, 2011
Mar 31, 2011This movie is NOT a kids movie. Sure there's an anthropomorphic lizard, and there's a wild west setting, but many of the jokes and even the art direction are not directed at kids. I did enjoy the film though. It was fun, and seemed very well made. Don't watch this movie and expect a pixar production though.
Mar 28, 2011
Mar 8, 2011I liked it quite a bit, its not really a movie for kids in my opinion. There were some boring parts, started kinda slow, but overall i was happy with my purchase of a child's ticket to see the movie
Mar 26, 2011
Apr 10, 2011
Mar 8, 2011All in all the movie itself was quite entertaining. The graphics were absolutely stunning, and the acting was appropriate. Each character had their own personality, and I personally find that a rare commodity in movies nowadays. I'm giving the movie an 8/10 because as entertaining as it is, I did find that it doesn't really hook you right away.
Mar 21, 2011I remember seeing the snake in the commercials but I never saw it's tail. when I finally went to the movie I learned the snake, instead of a rattle on the end of it's tail, had a MINI-GUN! A FREAKING GATLING GUN. That was awesome!
Mar 12, 2011Absolutely fantastic. Funny and quirky and incredibly enjoyable. Perfect for Johnny Depp and Depp was perfect as always. Also easily the best looking animated film I've seen. A bit more adult in language than expected but and amazing film none the less.
I bet that Geico Lizard is super pissed he wasn't cast as Rango -
Mar 13, 2011
Mar 14, 2011I very much enjoyed watching Rangoo, I thought it put a great spin on the old Clint Eastwood Westerns. What stuck out the most to was creative the townspeople were. It had a simple but wonderful storyline and it didn't try to get to complicated but just stuck with the basics.
Mar 18, 2011
Mar 20, 2011Wow, this move was spectacular. Its visuals were stunning, its characters were incredibly believable, and it's humor was like some I have never seen before. Just one tip, if you are planning to see this movie, just remember to get a ice cold drink, because by the end of the movie, you will feel as dry as hardened glue.
Mar 21, 2011
Mar 22, 2011Poissbly the best animated film this year will grab all awards from animation giant pixar, absolutely enjoyed it and loved how it page homage to the great westerns, amazing animated film :)
Mar 25, 2011Overall I would say one of the better 3D animated movies in a long time (IMHO). Visually unique and a funny movie for kids (and sophisticated enough for older viewers). I'm very happy we're starting to get movies like this and not just repeats of Pixar-clones.
May 7, 2011So beautiful, so perfect, so perfectly timed. Finally Pixar has meet its match. This movie was perfect on all fronts, I didn't find myself bored or upset at any time in this film. Gore, please do more animated films!
Mar 27, 2011
Mar 28, 2011
Aug 19, 2011For graphics, I give this movie a solid 10. Everything was crisp, bright, and highly detailed. The overall movie gets only a 7 because I felt that it was too busy paying homage to old Westerns rather than developing its own thing. The core movie seemed to lacking and I found none of the characters memorable. Still, it was an entertaining watch.
Apr 15, 2011
Apr 18, 2011I just noticed that one of the few people who gave Rango a "0" also gave Sucker Punch a "10." Make of that what you will. Rango isn't as good as it could've been but it was entertaining and I wasn't sorry I'd spent the $12 on a theater ticket afterward. Great animation and it's intelligent in that it doesn't rely on bodily functions or T&A to get audience interest.
Sep 5, 2011Having a young daughter means I often get pushed into watching family movies, most of which bore me **** but RANGO is an exceptional movie, the stark contrast of city slicker pet vs wild desert critters in a western themed story is brilliant.
Apr 23, 2011I am partial to Pixar, but this was nice and cute. Did Johnny Depp help? I guess getting people to see it, but anyone could of voiced Rango. Pixar is just better at this medium.
Apr 25, 2011Alright all you cinema lovers youâ
May 4, 2011
Jun 25, 2011yeah this movie was awesome. it wasn't for kids. it was violent and funny too. good movie. i enjoyed it. it was weird too. it was a odd strange movie. i liked it. i thought it was good.
Aug 7, 2011
Jul 27, 2011I sat down recently with Rango, Not really expecting too much from it.
The movie was Surprisingly, good!
- Excellent visuals
- Enjoyable characters
- Funny!
The bad:
- Did drag a little
- Somewhat predictable/cliché
8/10 -
Jun 8, 2011Who said animation has to just be for kids. The film tries to run with this idea but falls short with a overall childish plot. I have to give credit where credit is due, though the plot was lacking the film stayed true to western film culture leaving a child friendly 21st Century wester that can be cherished and because of that it gets a bump from 5 to 7.
Jul 21, 2011A very good movie that is definitely not intending for kids. Not every animated movie is meant for kids people. Read some reviews of movies before you take the kids out and you won't be surprised. The dry humor and comedy in it had me rolling in laughter, but I do have a very sarcastic and dry sense of humor myself. If you want a laugh and a good time watch Rango.
Jul 18, 2011It started out, what the heck did you buy this for? I then started hearing all kinds of different lines from all the old westerns from the 70's and 80's and then realized my wife did right. Awesomely funny! The Spirit of the West was the absolute. Who'd of thought Olyphant as Clint, perfect. Loved it, Loved it, Loved it.

Aug 24, 2011Movie makes up for a few story faults by the gorgeous animation and quirkiness. My 6 & 9 year olds kind of liked it and I kind of liked it so that is good enough for a 7.
Sep 10, 2011
Sep 12, 2011Rent-it - Johnny Depp truly is Rango, a pet chameleon accidentally stranded in the Nevada desert, and just like Depp, Rango is charming, smart, creative, beautiful, and definitely not for kids! Though it definitely is an early front-runner for Best Animated Picture in 2011.
Nov 3, 2011The voice talent is undeniably awesome, especially Johnny Depp, and the story is highly original and creative. Rango thoroughly exceeded my expectations. 4/4 stars.
Nov 18, 2011Rango has a great story. There is a big mystery behind it too, which also keeps you guessing. The visuals are amazing. The characters are so realistic.
Nov 18, 2011The movie was good but certainly not what I was expecting to see. I was expecting a comedy but it turned out to be an action film. Yeah, a full on action film. So, if you're expecting to watch a funny comedy film with your kids or whatsoever, - this isn't the right choice. Some may even consider it scary.
Jan 16, 2012Rango is a hilarious burst of originality, charm and humor with even a bit of chills. The film benefits from dazzling animation and Johnny Depp's colorful vocal performance. The film even succeeds even if it does have a bit too much innuendo. I give this film 83%.
Jan 1, 2013It looks great and has good voice acting. However, It's not all that funny. It got a chuckle or two out of me but that's about it. Don't get me wrong, It is enjoyable to watch, It simply isn't funny.
Nov 30, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Mar 5, 2011Rango was a fun western animation film with this cool lizard that reminds me of Hunter S. Thompson from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Johnny Depp's character did a good voicing and keeps his character for being so obnoxious and ackward for making fun for his performance.
Sep 18, 2011The western animation "Rango" is impressive; its realistic graphics, dark & mild humor, and sparse bits of deep meaningful symbolism makes the movie equal to those of Pixar's.
Mar 6, 2011
May 31, 2011Just plain boring. The animation and cinematography is beautiful, but the whole film is just as dry as the desert it walks. The voice talent really isn't that great either. One can't help but compare this film to all of it's genre predecessors, and to that respect, this one simply isn't worthy. This one by itself is just......well, read the aforementioned.
Mar 5, 2011This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Mar 4, 2011A damn fine animated movie that isn't shot in pointless 3D, contains memorable characters, superb voice-work, and painted in vivid animation. It has the all the beauty of "The Legend of the Guardians" minus the blatant stupidity.
Apr 7, 2011BLEW MY MIND INTO PIECES AND THEN FIX MY MIND THEN BLEW IT AGAIN. Johnny Dep more like Johnny Deep for the role of Rango I felt as if i was in the old west his acting was unbelieveable. I divorced my wife because of this movie she said she saw a problem i said I saw her leaving the house. Anyways Great movie have a great day.
Jan 26, 2013It`s pretty interesting! I say it`s a decent movie since it`s "unique", but it is kind of slow. Also the start really scared me, and made me think it might be worst then it was.
Mar 4, 2011

Mar 19, 2011
Mar 20, 2011Great animation. Fun (though not entirely original) story. Sweet characters. This is not a movie for a wide audience and DEFIANTLY not for younger kids. Anyone who is a fan of classic spaghetti westerns, The Andy Griffith Show, and Johnny Depp will have a good time.
Mar 4, 2011I think Rango is very well done.
The animation was stunning.
All of the voices were fantastic especially Johnny Depp he was perfect for the role.
Also this movie was hilarious! I wasn't expecting it to be funny but that was brilliant that they added lots of comedy in there.
All and all i thought it was brilliant and better than i was expecting! -

Mar 5, 2011
Jun 26, 2011From me its a solid 10 ! So far the best animated movie this year, well developed characters with good voice acting and top notch CGI.But to be honest I had feeling this movie was made for little bit older audience especially with all violence and gun fighting...
Jun 12, 2011I always said Johnny Depp should do more voice acting but in Rango he manages to combine several of his past characters into one oblivious chameleon,the humor the pacing and the rest of the actors are amazing,it's missing a bit of grip,some cultural references could have gone better but some moments your guaranteed to remember,anyway if you like Depp and animation than this film is for you
Nov 13, 2011It is like an average movie its little bit boring the jokes are also very dull. It is good to watch it once or twice the max. A very simple topic of the film the desert creatures are fighting for water and going on a stupid adventure. I didn't expected an average movie from Johnny Depp.
Aug 18, 2011i think that this movie is absolutely awesome, i really like cartoons and the new ones like rio, how to train your dragon, cars 2 and this are work of a genius! johnny depp was amazing, as always, and rango is the coolest lizard i have ever watched!
Mar 6, 2011This movie is not really for kids. It is a hard PG, bordering on PG-13 due to guns, violence and language. It's not for kids between 3 and 10 and I regret taking my kids to it because now I have a lot to explain. There were a few laughs in the first 10 minutes and after that it was all explosions and shouting
Mar 6, 2011
Mar 18, 2011My boys and youngest daughter liked it. My middle daughter fell asleep. My 15-year-old said it was OK. My wife thought it predictable, draggy, and inappropriate for kids (they said the H-word a lot!). I thought it wasn't very funny or interesting.
Mar 21, 2011This is one of those movies that everyone that I know likes, but not me. When I was watching this, I kept thinking that "this supposed to be interesting, right?". There was great animation, but most of the stuff that was going on was not compelling. I was begging for this to end when it got to the 20 minute mark
Apr 3, 2011Bland passable fair. It's not crap butit's not epic either. It's just there and it will entertain you... mostly. You will wait a while between laughs but you won't walk out of the theater out of outright boredom. It's fine but completely forgettable.
Mar 5, 2011Rango, it was slow with a very dry humor. It was not a good kids movie â
Mar 5, 2011I really wanted to love this movie because it is gorgeous. Unfortunately the pacing is repetitious, no pathos you can feel, nothing at risk. Animals all act like humans in animal costumes. The most telling aspect as the number of people I saw in the theater falling asleep.
Mar 5, 2011I fell asleep for a few minutes in the middle. What's that say about it. I thought it was pretentious and self important. Some adult humor sprinkled in to give us a reason to hang out while the kids enjoy it.
Mar 5, 2011This was a horrible movie! I kept waiting and waiting for the entertainment. I thought is was a family film, but since when did damn, hell, ass become daily words used in a family setting...I will not recommend this movie to anyone.
Mar 21, 2011This was a terrible family movie! Ugly, gruesome characters combined with jokes in bad taste. Definitely not a good movie for kids! What do they think kids want to see?
Mar 28, 2011What a disappointment. This was not a kid friendly movie. Swearing? Smoking? Since when are these things appropriate for a "kid" movie? This movie reminded me of a Clint Eastwood movie only animated. I wish I would have read the reviews before going. Parents please don't waste your money on this one.

May 7, 2011I absolutely was lost from beginning to end. The visuals were okay, but I fell asleep 2/3 into it. The biggest gap between the critics and my own personal review in a long time. Not recommended.
Mar 10, 2011
Rango is the poster child for those who are anti-3-D, and a great reminder that genuine creativity doesn't need a gimmicky crutch to appeal to audiences.
A certain percentage of the audience will instantly sieze on this as their favorite movie of all time, and a small, but not insignificant demographic will have nightmares. Verbinski and Depp probably like it that way.
The best of Rango is a lot like the best of the first "Pirates" movie – crazily funny and rambunctious.

i'm about to do my gender bender project for video art....eh.....so postmodern i'm about to die.
so the theme of the project is "Reverse"....in which we have to literally play part or all of our video projects in reverse. what i'm doing is...first i've grown a beard, now i'm going to dress up in the most colourful suit jacket, shirt, jeans and tie i have, then i'm going to set up a chair against a white wall...then i'm going to put lipstick and eyeshadow on (to contrast the beard) and my generally masculine face. and then i'll write out the lyrics of katey perry's i kissed a girl and i'm going to recite them as a poem, slowly, with a different rythm, get it all out of context and fucked up. then i'm going to play it to edit it so that first i say it foward and then in reverse....and playing on the whole girl girl boy boy boy girl girl boy combinations and gender roles...what does it mean when a homosexual sings "i kissed a girl and i liked it, i hope my boyfriend dont' mind it" bhahaha...my teacher fucking loves that kind of shit.
then i have to make a collage for creative sketching...and once i'm done with that collage, i have to draw the collage...how fucking stupid...but that's it.
then for photography i have to take pictures of a glass full of turd so i can stick it on the coffee vending machine so i pass the "site specific" assignment.....aaah the things i do for art *rolls eyes*
toodles lovers
that sounds like so much fun! omg lol i hope it turns out well!!!

So you have decided to sell on eBay. You've been buying things on there for years, and just figured out that you can now sell the soap figurines of great left tackles of professional football that you have been working on all those Sunday afternoons watching your team battle on the tundra in a blinding snowstorm. You meticulously dust each one, find the right background to use for a photograph, and take a digital picture of each one of your creations to load to your eBay page. You are ready to upload the image to your page when an old sales receipt catches your eye, and you notice the line for sales tax. Then you start to wonder, do I need to charge sales tax on these items? If so, how do I do that?
The first thing you need to do is contact the department of revenue for your state (and any other state where you have "nexus") and find out their rules for taxing items sold online. Once you are clear on what you need to do, ask them the procedure for getting a sales tax number. This is needed if you want to sell items online to the people who live in not only your state, but all the other states where you have a physical presence. Please translate the "if you want to" to mean "this is something that you must do." Additionally, if you resell items on eBay, you should ask about and get resale certificates from these states and use this to report the sales tax collected and so that you can avoid paying sales tax on items bought for resale (say if you purchase the soap sculptures instead of making them).
eBay has something called tax tables that are used to charge sales tax on purchases made on the site. To set up a tax table on eBay, you need to do the following:
- Sign in to eBay (yes, I know you know to do that, but sometimes people forget so bear with me).
- At the top of most eBay pages, you will see My eBay. Click on this link to get started.
- Select the Account tab, and then click on the selection for Site Preferences.
- In the Payments from buyers section, click the Show link.
- In the Use sales tax table area, click the link for Edit.
- Fill in the sales tax rate that you got from the state department of revenue. If the state also informed you that you also need to charge tax on shipping and handling for their state, you will also need to check the box titled "Also charge sales tax on S&H".
- Look over everything to make sure all your numbers and rates are correct.
- Last but not least, make sure that when you are done, click on the Save button at the bottom of the page. You don't want to have to go through this more than one.
Keep in mind that sales tax is charged at the most localized areas that is specified when you entered the rate. So if the lowest level you entered was a city rate, the city rate will be charged. But if you entered a statewide rate, eBay will use the statewide rate. States are also either "origina-based" or "destination-based" sales tax states. Find your state on our Sales Tax Resources for Online Sellers in Every State in order to determine which type of sales tax state you live in.
As always, if you have questions, don't hesitate to contact your local CPA. They can help clarify any questions you have on how to charge sales tax.
Chris Peden, CPA, CMA, CFM has over 15 years in the corporate world helping companies meet their regulatory compliance requirements. He also assists small business owners with organizing and making sense of their finance information. You can reach him at email@example.com. In accordance with Circular 230 Treasury Department Regulations, we are required to advise you that any tax advice contained in this article may not be relied upon to avoid penalties under the Internal Revenue Code.
