Wait - you guys in America don't need to pay sales taxes when buying online? Wowh. In Germany, the "Mehrwertsteuer" always must be payed, no matter where you buy.

There is also a difference in price tags, I learned. In Germany, usually shown prices include all taxes, where as in America prices usually get displayed without taxes, right?
