Didn't they do their own "report" on this a while ago that showed it would end up costing more to collect, than the amount they collected from the tax?

I can just see them slapping a "collection fee" on top of the tax too. If retailers here weren't so greedy, a lot more people would likely be buying locally. And like others have said, there is a lot of stuff that just isn't available here.

Not to mention how much the tax will add to US Ebay purchases
