Why am I being charged Sales Tax on a product that's being shipped from another country? No one else does that.

Sales tax is based on the buyer's shipping address.

OP2 years agoThank you for your response. I buy a lot of products on the Internet. No merchant from outside the US charges me any sales tax.
