Aside from eBay, where returns with individual sellers may be a challenge (as opposed to a legitimate and well-established business), let's list the name of companies who have a solid track record, great pricing, solid return policy and don't charge sales tax.

Every online retailer is looking up at Zappos

I'm glad they are charging taxes now.

You do realize you're supposed to account for sales tax not charged by Amazon when you're filing your taxes correct?

I just can't imagine that anyone's going to get too upset or stop using Amazon as a result of this. I haven't had to step foot in a Walmart (where I'd have to pay taxes) for four years because of Amazon. My life expectancy has probably been extended due to the reduced threat of having a stroke while standing in line there.

Yall act like Amazon wants to collect sales tax. No company wants to collect sales tax... Louisiana law makers are making Amazon collect sales tax. Hope yall realize that...

Wayfair....always a 10% off coupon and cheaper than Amazon on most items. Also, generally always free shipping when you spend $49.00. Even though I have always had Prime, I still have ordered many items through Wayfair.

The shite right here. Usually the same prices as Amazon as well.

just tried to buy a Sous Vide cooker on Ebay. Seller was Best Buy and sales tax was added to the purchase. Went to New Egg and got the same item for same price sans sales tax.

Do they have basically free shipping that arrives in two days? Would that just be a wash between shipping vs sales tax?
Posted on 12/20/16 at 9:28 am to Will Cover
Is it just state sales tax they are charging (4%) or is it State and Parish? (parish can be anywhere between 4-6%)
Posted on 12/20/16 at 9:34 am to Will Cover
Newegg doesn't charge sales tax?
Posted on 12/20/16 at 9:39 am to Will Cover
Is this happening because they are putting a facility of some sort in LA?
Posted on 12/20/16 at 9:40 am to Will Cover
We've been paying sales tax on Amazon for several years now in Tennessee. And it's still, by far, the best place to shop.

Good, they should be forced to collect the same sales tax as local stores to make it fair competition.
Online stores are already at an advantage with not having the overhead costs that come with having a brick and mortar location, allowing online stores to offer lower prices. Pair up lower overhead with no sales tax and its going to be more and more difficult for local stores to compete. I like the convenience of online shopping for certain things, but also don't want to see local stores going out of business because they couldn't compete on a fair level with the internet retailers.

What is screwed up here in Alabama is this:
Amazon is charging 8% tax(typically sales tax is 9% locally, which is split about 50/50 between city/county and state)
The state will keep all Amazon 8% but will Give Amazon back 2%, provided Amazon submits tax payments on schedule thus Amazon makes 2% profit off customers, that local stores do not make.
