Amazon struck a deal with Amazon to delay the taxing for a couple of years with the commitment of building distribution centers in Calif & employing thousands of workers to lower the unemployment rate.

it's not just amazon that has to collect taxes if they do physical business in california, meaning having a warehouse or storefront. that being said, amazon collecting our i think 9% sales tax didn't change anything for us. amazon saves us lots of time, gives great selection, free shipping for us and customer service is awesome. and if they do mess up, they either give us a free month of prime or as an example a few days ago our 5 cases of cat food was late, so they overnighted us 2 free cases.
