[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2868208, member: 29706"] Is it exactly fair...NO. But think of it this way who has enough money and in house tech people to be able to handle charging tax on purchases in multiple states. There are large payment companies that handle the shopping cart but it's not always that way and figuring how to charge tax as well as keep up with tax rates for the little guys is much more costly so they end up just saying "Hey we don't ship to a state that charges sales tax." On top of that having sellers who have maybe one or two purchases come through in a year then have to deal with a ton of extra paperwork and the state has to process that paperwork to get less than ten bucks a lot of times and maybe be lucky to get a couple hundred. How much does it cost the state to deal with the paperwork? By the time they deal with a small guy the state will probably end up with a net loss. [/QUOTE]
