My state's not on the list, but we've been required to report internet sales the past couple of years.

ETA: It hasn't stopped me from ordering from the internet, especially from places like Amazon. Even though I'm paying tax on the merchandise, the items I buy are still cheaper online than if I buy locally (if I can even find them locally).

Unfortunately, every internet site I happen to shop from adds sales tax and it hasn't affected my purchasing decision. As far as Amazon losing my business for this reason, not going to happen.

My state isn't listed and I'm charged sales tax on my Kindle books.

Won't affect my purchases since I track my purchases and pay any sales tax due when I do my taxes. Would be nice if all places collected sales tax to keep everyone honest.

My state is not on the list & we don't have to report internet sales. Jeez sounds like Big Brother. I'm considering moving somewhere warmer & that state isn't on the list either. I agree that Amazon is always cheaper or at least a price match. They usually have stock or expect it shortly on what I order. Another consideration is the time you save shopping online and it is safer during snowfall months. Then there is the gas & vehicle maintenance to consider. I doubt very much Amazon will be loosing that many customers. Even with tax, why would people shop elsewhere? What would be the advantage, they would have to pay tax there too?

They started building a warehouse here last year. That's when they started collecting the tax. It's not even open yet, but they started collecting taxes right away. Maybe those extra taxes will help the state. I'm still buying from Amazon.

They started collecting in my state last year and I still purchase the same, if not more, from Amazon.

It's the internet sales laws- not Amazon. If they have any entity in your state (even a 1 person regional office) they're supposed to charge tax. Amazon is just following the rules!
