eBay knows where the buyer lives, but there's no authoritative lookup source to go "okay, I'm selling this type of item to a person living here on this day, what's the tax rate?" (Yes, both item type & day of the year can change the tax rate.)
And is the tax rate for the billing address or the shipping address? If the former, I could see Delaware and Oregon post office boxes getting a lot more popular...
