In theory, as pointed out in the link, if the sales tax is not collected by
the seller, it is paid by the buyer:

(It is important to note that, while remote sellers are not required to 
collect
sales taxes, the tax is still owed by the individual who made the purchase.
Individuals are suppose to keep track of these purchases and pay an
amount equivalent to the sales tax as a "use" tax on their state tax 
returns.
Few people do, however, and the use tax is almost impossible to enforce,
which effectively exempts these purchases.)

I have a friend who was, and perhaps still is, a diligent believer in 
reporting
his out-of-state buys and paying the sales/use tax per his state law.
