We have filed a law suit (in Cook County, IL) against Ubid alleging that it deceptively fails to disclose the actual amount of sales tax charged for IL deliveries. We hope to make this a class action.

On its web site, Ubid states it will charge the state tax (which is 6.25%) but charged us the state AND local (Cook County, RTA and Chicago) combined rates of 8.75%.

We would appreciate contact from any other IL consumers who feel that Ubid cheated them on the amount of sales tax charged on their purchases.

Please contact us with any comments you have on this Ripoff report. Thank you.
