In nearly all other cases, sales taxes are charged when applicable, so the average person out there believes they are not bound to pay. Add to that the significant burden on the consumer, and it's clear the system is not well constructed for new types of business such as online sales.

The majority of people don't understand that internet sales were never meant to be tax-free; just that the responsibility was on the buyer, not the merchant, to collect and remit the sales tax.

My opinion, is to explore each opportunity as long as there is not a significant hurdle to start. So if you are paying heavy integration or set up fees, or if you are concerned about competitive situations, then there may be certain areas to avoid. However, if you do have competitive cost structure and have planned for the inetgration work, then it's worth taking a shot. The wonderful thing about marketplaces is having to pay when sales come in, instead of just advertising for sales. Rishi,

I agree with you, as long as Amazon is rocking it other competitors will take a shot at it. Do you think it is better to try to compete with Amazon or try to explode on a niche like Diapers.com ? Kevin – this is really solid. I agree with you, as long as Amazon is rocking it other competitors will take a shot at it.
