Sales tax exemption on coins and bullion. Will eBay know the state laws defining these exemptions.

Most states have sales tax exemptions on coins and bullion.  How does eBay plan on addressing this issue or will they just blindly tax everything, in essence, violating tax laws?

It won't be any worse than the current patchwork. I was charged sales tax on a shirt the other week by a seller in another State. Despite the fact that clothing is not taxed in my State AND the requirement for sellers to collect use tax to State residents is on sellers who sell more than $100K. Doubtful.

 

I'm fairly sure that there will be tax tables available for companies to buy that will list all the exemptions for common items. This whole rollout is going to be horrendous though.
