Well, they used to not charge tax to CA despite CA being one of the states that requires tax collection. But now they do. Here tax advisor near me http://yourbooksontime.com/tax-advisors from company Your Books On Time. Despite this costing me money it is the right thing to do, as I no longer ignore local B&M business when I know exactly what I want on larger purchases. But I must admit that I probably use B&H slightly more than I would have without their "Payboo" card.

Anyone else notice this? Looks like Adorama finally caved and is collecting sales tax*. Makes B&H and their Payboo card even more attractive for large purchases.
*I'm in Minnesota, btw.
I found an on-line store, based in Salt Lake, who still doesn't charge tax nor shipping fees on purchases over $99 (I believe).

What I don't get is why ebay charges tax on used item? I already paid the sales tax on it new so why is it charged again used?
Sales tax is on retail sales, and the definition of retail is to the end user. The law does not make a distinction between new and used items, at least in my state, so tax must be collected on any sale of most tangible items and even some services. Shipping is taxable here as well if the items being shipped are taxable. In theory, the state could collect more in sales taxes on an item then it actually originally sold for if it gets resold often enough.
