11 orders in 2017.

Paid state taxes: $0.00

Man, it's going to be a bitch trying to keep up with all my purchases to self-report at the end of this calendar year.

Zero.

I still find plenty of value in the service they provide.

I haven't ordered anything off Amazon yet this year. Is it actually forcing the sales tax at the time of purchase?

I put something in my Amazon cart to see and it shows "taxes to be applied" as $0.00.

What was all the commotion about then? If it isn't forcing the sales tax at the time of purchase, then it's exactly the same as it was before

That would make sense, but a friend of mine just said it didn't charge him tax on his purchases thus far, and I can't imagine it would charge you tax, after the fact when it shows $0.00 on the tax line right before you hit "purchase"

Weird.

Not that much. But the fact that they put "sponsored" products at the top of every search (after I already pay them a prime subscription), and that Prime no longer means 2 day shipping in many cases, is really crimping my style.

Basically everything is a little worse since they started trying to make money. Everyone should try to do some price shopping on Ebay. You will quickly find that the shipping is obviously priced into every Prime product now. They are no longer matching prices AND giving Prime shipping. If Ebay would really push their Fast N Free listings, incentivising companies to get set up for Fast N Free, and offer Fast N Free only searching, they would instantly have a Prime competitor.
