| Like the country flags that show on the orders page, could a state flag also
be shown, especially the home flag of the seller to alert the seller that sales
tax needs to be added when required.

That would require BL to know which states are required to charge sales tax and
which do not.
Maybe add a check box in the sellers settings page to enable it if needed? Like
VAT?

More flags would make it more confusing... I know like 2 of the 50 state flags
well.

Don't all states have a sales tax. If you live in the same state the store
you are buying from, and you would recognize the flag, you would immediately
see that you will have to pay sales tax in this store.

The way I understand it (which may be wrong), you have to charge sales tax if
you have a brick and mortar store and people within your state buy from you.
I guess I don't know if your house can be considered a B&M store and if
"hobby" sales count. There are different state rules for every state and in
my state there are different rates depending on where the sale was made. Also,
I'm not sure about how it works if you pay the sales tax on the product you
are selling, but in my opinion that would amount to the state double dipping.
I always pay sales tax on the product when I buy it, so the state is getting
their money from me upfront.
California changed the way internet sales are taxed caused Amazon to move their
call center to a different state, IIRC. Lots of people lost their jobs 
This is why I never get charged sales tax when I buy from S@H, they don't
have a B&M store in Nebraska yet. I don't buy from there to sell in my store
any way, the margins are too low unless it's a sale and even then I don't
have enough cash flow to do that.
As I said, I could be wrong.
