The Android Market didn't base their model off other esellers like Digital River, Pocket Gear, etc.
They seemed to have based it off eBay. On eBay, if you sell a few used baby clothes, you are responsible for collecting sales tax as needed and reporting it to your state authority. Ebay does not consider itself a retailer, but a marketplace that you pay to list in. Now that they've moved to a bulk delayed payments model, it would be nice if they acknowledged that they *are* the retailer, and handled the tax themselves, while giving us royalty or wholesale payments.
