Amazon never should have collected the data

Some Amazon sellers could soon get calls from Massachusetts state officials asking for unpaid sales taxes.On Tuesday, Amazon notified its marketplace sellers that the company has agreed to hand over important merchant information to the state of Massachusetts — including their federal tax ID numbers and the estimated value of inventory stored in Amazon's warehouses in that state.
This is a violation of commerce clause.  Aloso, vendors who give up their information to Amazon should do so only under voluntary contract with full knowledge that Amazon will pass the information around as it needs. 

I have a better idea.  Let us just connect the vendor sites with our newly invented escrow routers. If you go shopping, on line or off, just create a search protocol and the escrow router will ship it off to your collection of likely vendors. You can review the results, or go ahead and let the escrow router make the deal.  

With this method, we can leave Jeff Bezos completely out of the deal.
