I wish mine did that - it seems like every state is different.
In Texas we have to report Total Texas Sales and Total Taxable Texas Sales as separate numbers.
Yes we are, thanks be to God. Our state, āLive Free or Dieā has no sales tax at all.
Though that comes with problems. We did have a ādiscussionā with a CA government office that insisted on paying us taxes. I tried, until I was blue in the face to tell them, we have no way to pay our state the tax you provide to us. We have no tax.
In the end they added tax to the order.
Fact is stranger than fiction.
To be fair, it could be more-cumbersome than that, as our friends domiciled in Illinois (among certain others of the late, great Justice Louis Dembitz Brandeisā terminology āLaboratories of Democracyā) can readily attestā¦
I browsed their site to see what I needed ā¦ and not that much. The craft-related items I could use ā a mannequin bust with pierced ears; a larger professional light tent; professional photo lighting; a better matte cutter ā are not on Michaels. However, I need two picture frames 
Not that I expect to win, but I was just preparing 
Iāll be adding 10+ new items regardless.
I was getting 2-3 orders a day mostly all the same stuff so it was obviously coming off a FB ad the was carouseling the same items over and over. It slowed to 1 order a day and I no longer noticed the FB ads as much. About a week ago, I started getting 5-6 per days and for all different stuff. I did some google searches and found Michaelās is hitting Google sponsored ads pretty hard. Thanks Michaelās!
That is really great to hear! I have had a [very modest] increase in orders the past few days. I havenāt seen any ads with any of my stuff, but maybe itās floating out there somewhereā¦hope it continues for a bit!
Starting to get a LOT of spam messagesā¦āI want to buy 5 contact me at abc email so we can discuss payment blah blah blahā I think itās time for Michaelās to code a block for email addresses in messages, at the least.
Finally got 2 orders a few days apart, after being on the platform since last fall. Pretty sure it was because of that Spend $x get $15 rewards. That promo is done now.
Iāve asked for this several times on their FB page. In the past 4 days, Iāve gotten 8 emails from āMrs.Maryā, although the last 3 back-to-back messages were from āMrs. Janetā but with āMaryāsā email. Itās really annoying. Makes me wish I was a world-class hacker to send a virus to Maryās computer and blow it up.
Sameā¦āMrs. Janet and Mrs. Maryā. Yesterday I sent 5 āreport messageā
I wonder if those people somehow able to tell which sellers are getting sales on MP, then target those sellers with the messages?
Knock on woods I havenāt received any message (probably just cursed myself now), but I havenāt had any sales later either.
How did you do that?
I finally received one of those āMrsā message today, and there isnāt any way to āreportā the message on MP like we can do on Amazon. Just wondering if there is a way I missed or did you just sent an email to: [email protected] ?
Did you reply to them, or just ignor them? There isnāt any kind of rule on MP that we have to answer messages (or mark as no answer needed), like on Amazon, right?
We donāt need to reply, but I throw back a bit of snark just to ease my frustration ā and then I report them. I really wish Michaels would block those email addresses.
Did you sent an email about it to: [email protected]? I donāt see any other ways to report it.
Hover over message and there will be three dots on top right of message
Thanks so much Wade. How did you ever find that? Why didnāt they just make the three dot display there without have to hover over it. Iād never have find it on my own.
Anyway, I originally listed only 2 pairs of that earrings on MP, and the message said she want to buy 5 prs, so I up the inventory to 5, and messaged her that she can go ahead and make her purchase on MP. Pretty sure I wonāt hear back from her.
But if I do hear back from her or any other āMrsā, I now know where to āreportā it.
I started getting them too - just ignored and they stopped.
Sadly, my sales have stopped there too, which is a bummer.
