E-Commerce Taxation

The issue of e-commerce is that the government wants to put taxation on the transition of products and payment through e-Bay or PayPal. This is difficult because the transactions are between one person to another without any sort of government control between them, making it nearly impossible to get any sort of taxation in the process. Most people would like to avoid having to work around tax as much as possible which make e-commerce such a great idea. trying to put tax on e-commerce would be like trying to put tax on a friend trying to sell his baseball cards to another friend for say 6 dollars.
