Call the NYS Tax and Finance, they will tell you that you shouldn't have to pay tax unless they have a brick and motor business in NY. It's up to each individual to report all internet transactions at tax time.

Untrue.

According to NYS, they do if:

• The cumulative total of the retailer’s gross receipts from sales of tangible property delivered into the state exceeded $300,000 in the previous four quarters, and;
• The retailer made more than 100 sales of tangible personal property delivered in the state.

And in South Dakota v. Wayfair last year the Supreme Court gave them that authority, if they choose to go after these vendors. That was a big deal, overturning precedent that left it to the individual.

By the way under New York law individuals can use a fixed amount of sales tax from an income-based table on your return in lieu of itemizing and reporting small purchases (items and services < $1,000 each excluding S&H). See instructions for line 19 (IT-201).
