My point is, the sales tax issue never entered into my decisions about buying products in a store vs. online, or intentionally choosing an online retailer from another state in order to try to avoid the sales tax.

You must be from a state with a low sales tax.

I’m in California. My local sales tax rate is 8.5%. But, I also tend to make small purchases, so the sales tax, if charged, would be small as well. Some people mentioned buying big ticket items on which sales tax could be large. I have never bought such items online, so I never confronted the issue with a big ticket item.
