Given all the posts about "why cant I ship to the US" and etc regarding the new
sales tax system, I think Bricklink should send a notice to all sellers (or all
sellers who ship to the USA and don't have onsite payment if that's possible)
telling them what they need to do regarding sales tax and onsite payment. I suspect
a lot of sellers just don't realize they need to use onsite payment because
of the new sales tax rules.

Yes! Almost every day there is a post from a seller that does not read the forum
and is confused why they can't ship to some state. A simple email explaining
the tax situation to all sellers would suffice; there does not need to be a new
email every time BrickLink begins collecting sales tax in a new state.
