Re:Not necessarily defying law. (Score 1)

I'm fairly certain it does mean NYS isn't getting their cut. It's 4%, by the way. Generally NYS counties have sales taxes of their own near-ish 4% so, cumulatively, to a NYS citizen, it feels like 8%. Anyway, it isn't too likely that Newegg suddenly became a socialist organization and is now spreading the cost of a NYS sales tax on to the other 49 states. Unlike, say, NYS does who pass the cost of NYC on to the rest of the state...but that's because New York is a socialist state.
