all hell breaking loose on discogs. the seppos have decided that it is incumbent upon all citizens of the world to start paying taxes
in the US of A.

ok, so as our U.S pals say, "let me see if I've got this straight." One random country has decided to collect sales taxes from all sellers located in
every other country in the rest of the world? Not buyers. The fucking sellers?
That is one hell of a shakedown.
I must have it fucken wrong. There has to be some sort of sales threshold for this. No one country could possibly have the unmitigated gall to try a stunt like this. Every seller on earth would just block the country. Why in hell could they possibly think I would scurry around collecting tax revenue for some rando country that has nothing to do with me?
If I have to do one scintilla of work with all that "upload SUV inventory" bollocks and filing tax forms in some state in some country that has nothign to do with me then GTOF. Dude. i'm a waster. Not a goddamn G-7 accountant for Google. I'll just block the whole offending country. Or, failing that, I could just put up a nasty wee notice in my sellers terms saying
"sure, US buyers, go ahead and buy my stuff BUT if you're from one of the 21 states that require me to go through the rigmarole of filing sales taxes in your stupid state which has nothing to do with me then I am going to have to cancel your order. Nothing personal buddy but the last thing I need is Seal Team 6* rappeling down and through my balcony window here on the Pitcairns, screaming their heads off about $3.86 cents of unfiled tax forms in the state of West Dakota or some crap.
*of course, I'm being silly with the Seal Team 6 thing. $3.86 would make me a low priority target. Seal Team 3 would probably suffice.
