Technically you are responsible to pay the sales tax directly to your local state government.
Now that there are enough online sales the states are starting to go after the records of some of the larger internet retailers whom haven't already been collecting state sales taxes. Note, they're going after back records, not just recent sales... and some states tack on an extra 15% to 30% "penalty" for not handing over the tax money "on time".
Some states have a line on their state income tax to report/pay these online sales taxes so you can come clean once a year.
