This is not about selling or buying outside of the US. This is about understanding who is selling the apps. Now that you all know that its you the developer selling the apps (invoicing the end customer), you need to prepare accordingly to sell even within the USA and also outside the USA and comply to all international tax regulations per country. A nightmare!!! This raises more issues, where does the carrier come into all these tax scheme. Does carrier do any billing to end user?
And where is the Android Market located - what state? Android Market is promoting your applications and therefore created nexus for all you developers in that state? This is from legal tax expert: "Once something creates nexus for a person with a state, then all sales by that person to the state are subject to the state's sales/ use tax." What does this mean: You sell biscuits in California that you never charged sales tax before. Well now you do need to charge sales tax for all your biscuit sales in CA state, since Android Market created nexus for you. These are some of the many issues you need to get professional advise and confirm since you the developer is truly "in business" and running the show. Good luck.
