right i see,americans never seem to mention the extra they pay on here,you just assume they only paid $249 or whatever a PS3 costs these days

all states vary and some have none from what i just looked up,online shopping might be nothing too

but its nothing like european vat of course

 

I might be wrong on this, but I think online stores base themselves in states with no/low sales tax so their prices are lower, but there are still situations where sales tax applies.  Which is a similar situation to people in Europe ordering goods from other countries to avoid paying(or paying lower) VAT/GST/Tax.
