Florida marketplace sales still need a direct-sales check
A Florida seller using a marketplace should still separate marketplace-collected sales from direct sales, local surtax, exemption papers, and Revenue account records.
A selling site can collect tax on one sale and still leave the seller with work on the next one.
In Florida, the hard part is often not the rule name. It is the sales pile. One order may run through Etsy, Amazon, eBay, or another site. The next may come from your own web page, a booth, a local pickup, a wholesale buyer, or an invoice.
Keep those piles apart. Save the ship address, tax paid, invoice, refund, site fee report, and any resale or tax-free paper. If there was no paper, write that down too.
This helps craft sellers, online shops, market vendors, used-goods sellers, and small brands that sell in more than one way. A site dashboard can help. It may not show what happened away from that site.
Before sales spread too far, check Florida Revenue’s online sales and account pages. Ask a tax pro if the work has grown from a hobby or one-site sale into a regular seller file.
