Well, here's how at least one tax avoidance scheme works. eBay and Amazon deny wrongdoing, though: https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/amazon-ebay-face-scrutiny-over-vat-avoidance-by-overseas-sellers-1534604 https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/amazon-ebay-face-scrutiny-over-vat... Here's another nice example: a 19-yr career of selling stolen shoplifted items on eBay that netted $3.8 million. Looks like eBay and PayPal got their cut? https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/03/us/kim-richardson-ebay-federal-prison-trnd/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/03/us/kim-richardson-ebay-federa... These are not easily trackable items - look on eBay for things like electric toothbrushes and baby formula. Where do you think the sellers got that stuff from? The shoplifting rings that run amok in major US cities are not selling that stuff on the streetcorner, after all. Most are not getting caught.
