I use Amazon and I see that they’ve kept my records for years on years... LOL.. It doesn’t appear that it will change anything with them. And that has never stopped me from buying anything from Amazon.

Another one I buy from “online” is the Apple iTunes store. Heck, they’ve got my records from when the iTunes store *started* LOL... It doesn’t make any difference with them.

I’ve got another website that I’ve got some books and tapes from (a ministry site and they’ve got my records from more than five years ago; I can still access them...).

Then, there are all the software sites that I do business with, and I can contact them for something like the serial number again, give them my name and they can look it up in their records and find me and give me the serial number again. Those are (many times) just a one-man operation, and nothing much more than that.

So, far, it doesn’t seem to be a problem, with records, for all the people that I’ve done business with. I don’t really know what the problem will be, if all these people that I’ve done business with all these years have had no problems at all, and they’ve never been *required* to do so...

BUT, if I were to go into my local newspaper office and pay for an advertisement, even “in person” — I would not be paying a sales tax for this. Likewise, if one advertised on Craigslist, they would not pay sales tax on any charges by Craigslist (but only a certain few have charges, not all ads...).

And furthermore, if I were to go to a garage sale or buy something from my neighbor, I wouldn’t be paying sales tax for buying something like that. And on Craigslist, if I bought that “yard sale item” there, I wouldn’t be paying sales tax.

So, it really doesn’t seem to be a big problem, at least not as far as I can see... from my own personal experience in the past.
