Additional states will likey to be added as the regulation is slowly penetrating the majority of the US states.

“We are implementing this change because it is a legal obligation for eBay. Sellers may not opt-out of selling items in the states that we are collecting tax, or out of eBay automatically collecting sales tax for applicable orders.”
