So a state can collect tax when an individual seller in one state sells to some buyer in another state?


Unfortunately after the Supreme Court decision the answer to that is now yes. All that matters now is the buyers location.

Why does the platform on which they are selling matter?


The platform can make a difference for who the burden is on. Many of the state laws have a minimum amount of business before the burden falls on the seller. Until it falls on the seller the buyer is the one responsible to report it.

E.g. the state has a 100k minimum and one person buys a 5k coin from your personal website and that is your only sale of the year to that state, in that instance the buyer is responsible.

Now when you sell on ebay, ebay is either being treated as a single entity so the business threshold is met in every state or they are just going along with it anyway instead of calculating what sellers it applies too and which one it does not. Could you challenge the ebay as a single entity thing, possibly but the problem is that the businesses with the resources to do so would be paying the tax anyways and won't fight to help their competition be cheaper.

I think the 'bay is just protecting its are and going overboard...they don't want to put in the effort to monitor individual sellers.

It's possible that the laws just treats ebay as a single entity. I'm as critical of some of their decisions as anyone, but to be fair to them at least they tried to fight the decision while Amazon seemed to be supporting it

I'm not so sure it's the law that would treat ebay as the seller, or their choice. You are right about Amazon.
