That is the issue at hand. Big businesses can handle this. Small ones can't. Up to this point, if I ordered something from you I was technically required to pay use tax to my state on it (equal to the sales tax mind you) but I had to do it voluntarily since nobody reported the transaction to my state. Nobody fucking pays use taxes until they get caught and few people ever get caught. States hate that shit and want it reported and paid. Sounds great until you realize that you just killed every small business that ships. Wait until this shit hits Etsy and eBay properly.
