There's no reality where I "didn't pay the taxes when [I] bought the stuff" and also I "pay out of pocket", since I have not paid anything after placing the order. I guess there's also the possibility that I paid for the taxes but the seller ended up pocketing them, with FedEx footing the bill.

Sorry, I was unclear.

I mean in the general case - how much does FedEx win or loose from problems like this?

If they win, do they exploit it, by design or incompetence?
