So why did I have to pay sales tax? Does Google have a brick & mortar presence in Pennsylvania? If not, then to whom is that sales tax going?
I paid tax and I live in NJ.
The way I understand it, even if a company doesn't have a presence in your state, they can still collect sales tax and give it to the state if they choose to.
Yup
And the last thing they want is the IRS at their front steps.

Hello,
We’re writing in regards to your recent Nexus One purchase. There was an issue with the way the sales tax was applied to your order. We apologize for this issue and wanted to let you know that Google will fully refund the taxes you were charged.
The refund will be issued to the debit/credit card used to complete the original purchase. To verify which card will receive the refund, please sign in to your Google Checkout account at https://checkout.google.com and click ‘View order’. The payment information for the order will be listed at the bottom of the order receipt.
If the debit/credit card used to complete your purchase has been closed, your card-issuing bank should forward these funds to your new account or mail a check to you for the amount of the refund.
If you have any questions about the refund, or if you need further assistance, please reply to this email and we’ll be happy to help.
Sincerely,
The Nexus One Team

Im in Pa, I bought mine from staples and had it send to a store in Delaware, free shipping and no tax. Maybe 5$ in gas to pick it up
I am picking it up from Staples as well. How come you don't have to pay tax? I still do.
Yup
