Amazon and ebay are and will be responsible for sales tax collection where applicable.
I've been doing this since 1997. I really don't wish to debate this with U.

Ebay makes it very clear on its website who is responsible for collection and remittance to the taxing authority of any sales or use tax. It is the seller, not Ebay.
eBay: Member Workshop: Sales Tax, Use Tax
here is what the CEO of EBay has to say:
EBay CEO Donahoe: Exempt Small Businesses From Internet Sales Tax
"He cited the case of Colleen Rast, who employs three people in a clothes-selling business in Kallispell, Mont. Under the bill,
she who would have to deal with the laws of more than 9,600 tax jurisdictions across the country, he claimed.
“It would create costly paperwork and accounting burdens and
subject her to potential audits and litigation from tax collectors in states that are more than 1,000 miles away from where she lives and works,” Donahoe said.
Note he says that Ms Rast has the burden of collecting the tax. Nothing here about Ebay doing anything in regard to tax collection. But I do understand why you don't wish to debate the question. so done
