paypal, check, money order etc..
And the companies will take your money and run. Have fun with that. As I said, not a booming market. As it is, if you buy from stores that only offer paypal/check/money order, you are probably getting jacked.
the funny thing about the internet is that once the cat is out of the bag.. well, have this discussion with Lars Ulrich.
Because online retailers never tax those in states they have a physical prescence in
Or, more likely, states like oregon will become to internet sales what the carabean is to tax shelters.
Right...everyone will have all of there things shipped to Oregon and then shipped to wherever they live. Because I really want to wait a month to get something before I order it, or pay $70 for shipping to avoid $30 for taxes.
What will happen is that people will start paying taxes on these things, local stores will start doing a bit better, internet retailers will be hurt, and states will make more money. Thats about it. No crisis, no underground criminal black market.
