Supreme Court Rules On-line Sales Tax May Be Collected By Individual States

That’s what I’m saying, the retailer may do this to get more money. The bigger companies, I’m sure, will do the right thing.

But the tax collected/charged, should be from the state the item(s) are bought in.

Well, the law disagrees. The taxes are due to the state the purchaser resides in, not the state it was purchased in. The sales tax comes out of the buyers pocket, not the seller. The seller just collects it from the buyer for the state in which it is due. Just like it works on in-state purchases.
