question: Have Amazon started charging sales tax in California yet? I will not buy from them until they do.

Thanks

Wut, that seems awfully backwards >_>

Is that a yes or a no?

What is weird is that I sometimes get sales tax on Amazon and sometimes don't.  I believe the state of Texas is in the process of suing Amazon or something over that considering they have a distribution center in Texas which lawmakers signal as a sign of them having a physical presence in the state.  I find it kind of weird that some of my purchases are taxed yet some aren't.  Nintendo taxes Texas on the eshop purchases though.  The whole situation just seems fucked up to me.

I would venture to guess that since Amazon let's third parties sell goods through their platform the acctuall seller will sometimes be located in Texas while sometimes they are located elsewhere?

Interesting as your case is, I feel that it doesn't bring light to my question about the tax situation in California.
