Are you suggesting that when a seller uses FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon), then purchases made in a state where Amazon has a presence/warehouse will then be subjec

  Yeah, the states where you store inventory is enough for them to say you have a Nexus and have to collect sales tax in that state. Then some states also have a tangible personal property tax that applies to even inventory that usually the county collects and enforces, such as Arkansas, Kentucky, and some other states. Some states with TPP taxes apply only to goods your company uses(such as Office furniture, paintings on the wall, computers, etc stuff you aren't selling but using), but some even apply it to inventory for reselling. Which not sure if FBA opens you up to TPP taxes too as I haven't got that far into it, but I'm thinking there's a probably a chance counties will want that too if they knew you stored stuff in a warehouse within their county. I just think it is insane. I know we need taxes to pay for services, but so many different tax types and at different levels. Just wish they'd made things more consistent and easier to do. I really support just a single flat income tax at the fed level(where states, counties, and cities get a cut from based on some criteria but the taxpayer wouldn't have to personally worry about that. They'd only have 1 agency to deal with and pay.), and repeal all other taxes other than real estate property and the new flat income tax.
