Default Amazon taxing Cali customers now

I just bought something this morning and saw that they charge CA sales states now. Read that CA now is trying to sue anyone to try to get as many revenue that they can to pay for union pensions shortfall.

Can you provide more details?
Who was the actual seller?
Where are they shipping from?
Do you have a link to this article on CA suing Amazon?

I read this - http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-20038094-93.html

I do not have the shipping info yet.

But the order should be direct from Amazon, since they are waving shipping charges for +$25 orders.

They are rolling out free shipping to their seller program, where it's fulfilled by someone else. If you wanted to take a picture of the invoice for us to review that would be helpful. Just blur out your mistresses name so you don't get in any trouble.

OP, you sure you didn't buy from a third party on Amazon? Ordered a few things 2 days ago, no tax.
