Well, I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer, but a resident of NY should've been paying "use tax" all along, not just now that REA collects it. And, yes, I agree that "use tax" sucks for buyers.
Use Tax - applies if you buy tangible personal property and services outside the state and use it within New York State. Clothing and footwear under $110 are exempt from New York City and NY State Sales Tax. Purchases above $110 are subject to a 4.5% NYC Sales Tax and a 4% NY State Sales Tax.
