Amazon knows so much about me.
I don't buy much clothing online, but I know you do Steve.

Perhaps?

Still trying to figure out how to move forward.
eCrater is free.
BUT, they aren't eye candy friendly.
And as we all know you have to grab a buyer with at least a smart looking site with easy navigation.

Will be attempting some new ideas this summer and that site is on my list.

SEO is what's most important to me.

Amazon Toy Category Now Restricted?

I didn't receive the original email stating my account was restricted.
AND supposedly it was Amazon Services Europe.
Who knows....seriously.

I did receive not one, not two, but three emails stating:

We recently sent you an email with the subject line “Important information about your listings on Amazon,” regarding listings in the Toys category.

This message was sent in error, so please disregard it. There are no new requirements associated with your Toys listings at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Thank you for selling on Amazon,
Amazon Services

Next they'll be wanting out of state vendors to pay them state income tax based on the % of sales that were shipped to their state.

Besides the actual collection of every other jursidiction's taxes, what I am incensed about is that every state government is going to know who I am, what I do, and will most likely feel free to make it as hard on me as possible to conduct business anywhere I sell online. There is absolutely no reason why any other state or local government outside of where I live and operate needs to know anything about me. Period. Sick and disgusting is what this type of overreach is. And SCOTUS is willing to buy into it hook, line and sinker.

And I am not being the collection agency for states where I have no physical presence. I have more important things to do with my time.
Agreed. If they want out of state vendors to collect and remit the sales tax, they need to provide some sort of incentive, such as letting us keep a % of it as a fee. Then, if our sales are high enough, it'll make economic sense for the company to hire someone to do nothing but spend his/her time filing all those forms and submitting those payments. It would be a win-win.

Supreme Court will begin hearing arguments in South Dakota v. Wayfair case on Tuesday.   

If SD wins, it could result in states having jurisdiction over online sellers that are located outside of the state, and allow them to force out of state vendors to collect and remit sales tax.

South Dakota's law that's in question creates nexus based on economics rather than physical presence. It requires online sellers, who do not have a physical presence in SD, but who sell more than $100,000 to residents in SD OR have 200 or more sales to residents of SD, to collect and remit sales tax.

There have been a ton of amici curiae (friends of the court) briefs filed in support of both sides http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/south-dakota-v-wayfair-inc/

Edit to add: a really good article about the case: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-04-16/online-sales-taxes-face-high-court-test-as-states-seek-billions
