Looks like the 'net is about to go with sales taxes.<br><br><br><br>
I find this interesting because if I went into a Brick'n'Mortar store and purchased something, I walk out of the place with my goods immediately, and without shipping charges, and pay the sales tax accordingly.<br><br><br><br>
By purchasing online, I trade the convenience of immediate possession of the goods (and pay the sales tax) with waiting anywhere from 1 to 6 weeks plus a shipping and handling fee.<br><br><br><br>
In the end, I think this would cost a consumer more for the same product and thereby, stifle online sales.<br><br><br><br><a href="http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1104-983636.html" target="_blank">http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1104-983636.html</a>
