Re: New Members , Welcome, Introduce Yourself

Hiya! My Name is Cole. I'm living in Media PA - cute lil fair trade town near Philly.

If anyone lives near by you should really look into Media's super sundays Twice a year the whole town becomes a flea market and there are vendors from all over. Legit shops to home made art sale stands. Not to mention the tons of cutesie shops around town have huge sales. Anyhow glad to be hear and to see some fellow PA peoples.

One questions as a new seller: Do I still have to slam our people with a PA sales tax (I'm assuming yes) but is that something I have to accommodate for?

Re: New Members , Welcome, Introduce Yourself

It is illegal not to collect Pa tax on taxable items and also to tax items that are not taxable.
So, yes, you have to collect and remit taxes on taxable items.
When you list an item, there is a check box that asks if it is taxable.
Also you have to set up your sales tax in your Shop Settings.
To do that, click on Your Shop in the upper right, then on the left go to Shop Setting and click on Shipping and Payment, in the tab across the top click on Sales Tax. Set up your sales tax there.
It will automatically charge the correct tax when the buyer makes a purchase, if you set it up correctly.

Hello, my name is Sunny and I recently moved back to the Harrisburg area after being stationed in Asia for four years in the military (was born and raised here). I am a crafter of all sorts, but my shop is mostly knitting ;) I am also a full-time student in York. I'm looking to try some small craft shows this holiday season if anyone has any suggestions, Thanks!

Hey everyone. I'm Beth, from Reading, PA. I'm a college graduate that (unfortunately) has struggled getting a job in my field, and therefore have been looking to turn my etsy shop into a full-time job. I like creating something unique and different, and my shop caters to that desire.

Hi and welcome all newcomers! I am Carol, and I live in Jersey Shore. No, not the ocean one...the one little town with 2 traffic lights, located about 14 miles from Williamsport, PA. I have been on Etsy since 2008. I make mostly recycled things. I am one of the few people that quill Aluminum Cans. I have an Etsy shop to make enough money to fly to Texas, and drive to Connecticut to see grandchildren. I tend to be hit or miss with teams, but I try when I find down time.

Re: New Members , Welcome, Introduce Yourself

Hello everyone, my name is Margo. I live in Plum, which is about 30 mins from Pittsburgh. I hope to move closer to the city in a year or two. I mostly make jewelry, often incorporating vintage elements and little hardware bits. I love thrift store and flea market shopping, so that tends to figure into what I make. Sometimes I make other things, such as tote bags or scarves.

Hi! My name is Meredith & I opened shop in Nov of 2013. I grew up in Luthersburg PA which is near DuBois and I am now living in Bellefonte. I am a stay at home mom of one sweet 7 month old boy who also models for my shop :)
I like to sew all kinds of things but especially cute boy clothes since it is harder to find cute boys clothes than girls clothes! I also like to sew makeup bags and I have a large selection of those in my shop as well.

Re: New Members , Welcome, Introduce Yourself

Hello fellow Etsylvanians! I live in Allentown (Lehigh Valley Area) and am a real newbie to Etsy. After raising two great kids, overcoming a few health challenges, and being in the homestretch of attaining a Bachelors Degree (online) at Drexel, I've decided it's time to reach another goal and start a home business doing something I love! Once the schoolwork ends in August, my time will be devoted to creating original wire and bead earrings and accessories.

Best wishes to all in their business endeavors :)

Amy
