            South Carolina Use Tax Notifications

            A sale is not exempt under state law because it's made through the internet. Your purchases are subject to use tax unless an exemption exists under state law or you have already paid the tax. South Carolina customers may owe use tax on purchases made from Amazon.com LLC, Amazon Digital Services, Inc. and Warehouse Deals.


            Reporting Your South Carolina Use Tax

            We don't report your purchase information to the State of South Carolina. You may be responsible for reporting your use tax liability on your South Carolina tax return for purchases made during the previous calendar year. You may use the total sales price included on your notification e-mail when completing your South Carolina income tax return in order to calculate any use tax owed - unless you've already paid the tax or your purchases are otherwise not subject to tax. This information should not be used for any federal income tax reporting purposes.


            I'm not sure what that means guye they just gonna trust you to report it yourself or what?

              Long time member. Not a big fan of the movie selections but the shipping is awesome. You can also rent Kindle books for free. I think you get one per month.

                          Movies - D
                          TV Shows - C
                          Shipping - A

                          I'd say "A+" for shipping, but I suppose they could do free overnight shipping for Prime members, although 2-day is still a great deal if you buy a lot of stuff from them. Just waiting on them to add meat and produce delivery, eliminating the only remaining reason to leave the house.

                                          what are the Seller's fees like? and how does the payment processing works? do you still have to go thru PayPal?

                                              Big fan of Amazon Prime...great stuff. Still use Netflix for streaming on multiple devices, better selection. Prime is catching up. But as others stated, can't beat the two day, aside from the obvious overnight.

                                              Sellers fees are much better. CC %'s are better on Amazon Payments than Paypal. Greatly prefer Amazon Payments over Paypal for any online transaction, plus places now have Amazon checkout that can access that balance. Obviously since eBay owns Paypal, you can't do AP on eBay with much ease. Same thing as Paypal though, set up your bank info and CC info and you're good to go. People pay you and it goes to your balance. If you send in stuff directly to Amazon, you just get Amazon credit, though.

                                                          I dont like how amazon adds charges to watch some shows,movies , especially if they are new releases, even if you are paying for prime. Too many hidden costs to prime membership. The web site at amazon prime when searching for titles isn't as easy to navigate as netflix either. Netflix make it easy to check out the entire selection, netflix algorithms actually bring up movie offerings based on your previous choices, I definitely think the interface at netflix is superior for movies. I dont think netflix is in trouble judging from what I have seen from amazon yet.

                                                            If you're a mom or student, Prime membership is only $39/year. They even have the nerve to charge sales tax on the membership. Membership is worth every dollar if you buy alot of stuff.
