They may be eating the cost until they can implement something in the software. It's a HUGE headache with all the different VATS and if they didn't have a system for it before, they either have to pay to add a system or eat the cost (which usually results in a rise in prices across the board to pay for it.) A rise in prices is probably how I will eventually handle it on my blog store if it becomes a problem. I do sell a few copies abroad. Right now that is such a small amount I will probably end up eating the cost. Some of it depends on how it goes and how many people are inputing their address in paypal (that is the way I determine where someone lives). I can add a tax to certain locations (and if I did it would be a straight amount across the board for foreign purchases).
I got an email from Amazon again last week and it sounded like they hadn't actually finished applying the changes to all books, but reminded us it was happening and the new rules, etc.
