"The Amazon finance card doesn’t interest me and I’m not going to buy a camera today—or one from Amazon, because of they charge sales tax and most online retailers don’t. But I’m simultaneously impressed and creeped out by the company’s nudge e-mails."
I'm guessing this is part of the reason why Amazon is pushing on an online sales tax at the federal level.
- kposehn 14y agoPretty much; I helped lobby against it in Sacramento with Amazon and the PMA. The amazing thing was how uncaring politicians were for the plight of small affiliates - especially those who would be ruined overnight. Most online retailers have come to understand that solving it at the federal level is really the best solution for all involved.
