This new law is going to absolutely lead to less business being conducted on the internet. Not necessarily because people in Nebraska don't want to pay taxes to Texas, but it's really going to suck for sellers and they may find it not worth doing business online anymore.

I believe Ebay is going to do all of that tax work for the sellers and automatically calculate, collect and pay it. BUT I encourage you to inquire to them directly, as I am just going from what I read/hear. Until 2019 rolls around and it starts, no one may know for sure.
I can say with reasonable surety the bar will be high enough to preclude most small to medium sellers elsewhere in the E-commerce world. As an example I believe the South Dakota requirement is sales over $200k and that is in each state, AGAIN my understanding and may or may not be 100% accurate.
