Selling from a website as a broker for products that are manufactured and delivered local to the customers, is it possible to simply collect the sales tax from the customers and pay it to my vendors, or do I have to go through the elaborate process of collecting and paying sales tax to each and every state and county?

I hope I correctly understand your question (I'm not sure that I do!). When you sell to shipping location in Utah, you should charge and collect sales tax from the location where you are shipping from. So if you ship from Salt Lake County you should charge, collect, and pay Salt Lake County rates. I hope that answers your question. However, if you are a doing something a drop-shipper the answer is different that what I told you. Shoot me and email or give me a call if you want to clarify something.
