yeh no wonder the guitar was damaged . Had zero protection and no idea why they didnt replace it back in the shipping box. The crack on top clearly shows the guitar was probably at the UPS truck or depot with heavier boxes on it that crushed it

This^^^. I just sold some minor non guitar items on eBay and each item had sales tax added. Those tax $ did not come to me. Guessing they went to the relevant state. |

If you refund through Reverb, you should get your sales tax and selling fees refunded as well.

Sorry about your experience, but it should be obvious now why that simple step is important.

I hope you work it out, but in the future, always document your packing process. I learned from experience.

REVERB RIP OFF and UPS nightmare
I’m not saying that documenting your packing with pictures (or video) is a bad idea, but how does this guarantee you anything? Unless you vlog your entire shipping event, including driving your box to the carrier, and finally the handoff of the package to them (with a quick zoom on the shipping label to capture the send to address), this seems it guarantees nothing. BTW, USPS will NOT allow you to film your transactions with them, much less take pictures. I’ve already discovered this.

After all these years on the planet I've learned that absolutely nothing is guaranteed... including another day here. What taking this extra step does is help build your case that you did what you could to protect the instrument. If you want a simple analogy, I put on my seatbelt when I drive my car. Does it "guarantee" I won't have a serious injury if I crash? No, but it likely lessens the odds and that's good enough for me. Or if someone chooses not to be a smoker. Guaranteed they won't get lung cancer? No. Get it yet?

The tax thing is definitely not thoroughly mentioned but it is deducted. I just had to pay 66 on top of shipping for a sales tax in Indiana.

I’d urge OP to adjust his post title. This is clearly not a Reverb problem and seems like flagrant bashing of a website that states super clear policies. And if they accidental charged a seller sales tax, seems like calling them to get it sorted is in order. Seems like a ups problem, and a tough on at that. Good luck, and let us know how it turns out.

Yes, I don't think I said otherwise. I said Reverb et al now have to collect it. Buyers have, mostly, been legally obligated to pay the tax to their State all along. Not that many people were even aware of that.
