I'm not talking about all of the process that goes on before I receive the money, itch should slap those costs on the client's total.
And I'm not talking about how much paypal takes from the withdrawn money, I pay that anyways.
I'm talking about the difference between balance that I've sold and the balance that I can withdraw.
And yes, I think taxation is theft, since it goes to the dirty politicians and their corrupt contracts, funding wars, distributing drugs, DEI, woke bullshit, growing the government like cancer, and oppressing people. It never goes to a worthy cause that helps the citizens.
Not selling to them is not evading, it's refusing to take their money in the first place.
Ahh, but that is customer mentality you display there. Not business mentality. You think in net profit, like selling from customer to customer in a yard sale, yet you have to think in gross profit.
A customer's payment is net for the customer (+ vat where they do not add vat before checkout).
That payment is gross for the business and there goes away all the fees and taxes till it becomes net income, that in the end would pay your salary.
As for taxes themselves, feel free to point out a system in history that worked better. At least we now mostly have percentage based taxes. A society as an entity needs funding. You can of course rightfully complain about the specifics and about people abusing it. Or you can try to boycott certain national systems. But if you want to boycott US system, you better not sell on an US platform.
