This makes sense. Sales tax is not owed on re-sales of purchases on which sales tax had already been paid. So clearly this is a plot to get consumers to re-sell their products to other consumers.

So are they trying to create another ebay or what?

They are trying to shift the seller from being B&H to individual consumers who can more frequently be exempt from collecting sales tax.

I think it might be closer to an Amazon Marketplace type offering. One product SKU, multiple sellers (including B&H with taxes, likely).

Uh actually that’s not true. Sales tax is owed on used goods in most states. Have you ever bought a used car?
