Wow! That does indeed suck. I spend thousands a year at Amazon it seems because of the no sales tax.
I hear people are using ebay to find items but I myself havent used ebay in probably 10 years. |

Well, that clinches one of two things for me.
1. Move out of this state. 2. Stop using Amazon. |

I get a lot of big ticket items from Amazon. Not any more.

Looks like I'm switching to Overstock.
Additionally, Overstock.com has declared that it believes the affiliate program does not amount to the required minimum contact under the US Constitution and that it therefore would not be required to collect the taxes even with affiliates in a state. Overstock.com has filed lawsuits seeking to clarify that point. Overstock.com, because of its sales volume, is usually cited as a leading example of the significance of these interstate taxation laws. It is different from another large interstate seller, Amazon.com, in that Amazon has chosen to maintain ties with and collect sales taxes in some states, whereas Overstock has cut ties and does not collect tax. Overstock also charges sales tax in Kentucky and North Carolina. |

Haven't any of you been paying the use tax you're legally obligated to pay on untaxed out-of-state purchases?

The use tax iirc is only $60 on the tax form, wayyyy less than the taxes they would collect from me.

Just took Amazon off home screen. Have been buying elsewhere more often for a while. The novelty of Amazons one stop shopping experience has worn off.

I have plenty of options. Amazon won't be getting a dime from me anymore.

I guess I'll be on eBay more this time.
Been an avid Amazon customer until now. I'll have to see how much tax is levied. Overstock just got bumped on my Favorite. |

Well I barely use Amazon so it won't be hard to not use it at all. Illinois the highest taxed state in the nation already pulls enough tax out of my pocket so I'll make sure to not give them any extra.

I get a lot of stuff on Amazon that I can't easily find locally or just out of convenience. Sales tax doesn't play into it much.
