Just so YOU know I dont cheat anybody out of anything. I pay my taxes and always shop locally unless absolutely necessary to buy online. I've spent less than a $100 for the whole year online.
I reread my last post and my tone did not come across like I meant it. I honestly was asking how could the state charge someone taxes on something they did not even know you purchased.
So if I'm understanding you correctly someone who shops online is supposed to track all their out of state purchases and pay their state the sales tax.
If this is the case it would be news to just about everyone I've ever talked to. I do not know a single person who does this. Some of the people I know buy just about everything from Amazon to avoid paying sales tax.
