eBay might see some impact. Amazon won’t see much.
As for the “complexity” of sussing out the taxes, there’s already a free service that will give you the details on sales taxes:

- credit card billing, PayPal (or other payment), etc.
- shipping
- sales taxes
- shipping insurance.
There are services available that simply do all that stuff for you, you just plug their modules into your shopping cart and you’re done. I’ve been looking into this for online sales for our new business, and it’s a rather well travelled road now.
That helps, however, it clearly mentions it handles 24 states. What about the other 26 states? Also will it remain free. Remember ATM’s were free when they started out too.
