Looks like Lot18 solved a problem amazon claims it cannot.
- jcampbell1 15y agoLooks like Lot18 solved a problem amazon claims it cannot. 1) Amazon has never claimed this. Amazon wants to be taxed the same as other e-commerce competitors. 2) It is far easier to calculate sales taxes in the 500 or so jurisdictions if you only sell one type of product.
