Amazon fought state sales tax until the writing was on the wall, then Amazon caved and we got overnight shipping instead.

I wouldn't be surprised if something similar happens. In Europe hobbyking, banggood et al opened European warehouses once VAT enforcement became a problem.

The big chinese retailers will start competing with Amazon, which is somewhat ironic since Amazon already acts as the US warehouse for many Chinese products. Good riddance to dropshippers though.
