Time to buy some film (I hope it's not too late).
Not the end of the world. I already pay sales tax on many Internet purchases.
Years back my accountant insisted I pay retroactive Use Tax which is similar.
I have bigger issues to bitch about.
Wise ruling by the Supreme Court.
States have been losing gigabucks in lost tax revenue to online sellers.
Things have changed a lot since 1992 when that "physical presence" rule was passed.

And it may help local stores compete
So if we sell a print or gear how does the sales tax get paid?
Will everyone who uses eBay, CraigsList or this site have to get a State ReSale number for where they live and for where the buyer lives?
No and no
Tax documents are already mailed to eBay and PayPal users who exceed a certain amount of sales/transactions.
You see plenty of larger users charging tax within their state already. Will not be hard to implement a global tax addition to eBay sales (on the buyers end).
Small-timers will continue be no different than local yard sale vendors. Your tax burden is your problem to figure out (and is mostly ignored).
Don't forget that increase in complexity = increase in compliance costs = less taxes used for actual public good.
Fortunately, this probably won't affect small sellers... yet.
