Kenny, I've just bought something from Amazon (US) a couple of nights ago and saw no reference to sales tax (though I got light-headed at the shipping costs! About 50% on top of the purchase price of the goods!) Where is the sales tax listed in the price breakdown?

Or is it like the UK's VAT, and because I'm buying from Somewhere Else On The Planet I don't get charged it?

Enquiring minds want to know! ;-)

Thanks,
Bran
