[QUOTE="laffter, post: 1506583, member: 43119"] There are loads of regular people and small businesses selling things on Amazon Marketplace and eBay. Currently, they don't have to collect sales tax for out of state sales, making their listings attractive to buyers. Years ago, I used to frequently sell on eBay. I was a small fish compared to some of the other guys who sold the same stuff. I had to match their prices. If a tax was automatically forced onto every sale, the bigger sellers could lower their item prices to keep the total price the same. It would have hurt someone like me [I]a lot[/I] more than them.
