Amazon experts get in here !!!!

OK so i was about to order some TIG welders via Amazon, during checkout i noticed they are charging tax on the order despite them not have a presents in Maine and the seller is also not in Maine. I contacted Amazon who as usual were extremely friendly but came up with some strange reasons for the tax. The first was the seller had requested tax be collected, the second was it may be a state requirement.

I contacted the seller directly and was assured if i ordered from them i would not be charged tax as they had no requirement to without tax for Maine. Obviously i ordered from them directly as they had free delivery as well. I am noticing this more and more with Amazon orders lately and wanted to know if any Amazon experts here had a reasonable explanation ?
