I'm going to visit the USA in a couple of months, and I'm looking to
buy some sets/parts from bricklink when I'm there.

I can't change my address to my temporary address in the USA because I'm
a seller also.
Is there an easy way to have parcels send to a address in the USA without breaking
bricklink rules? What happens with sales taxes between states, etc?

Maybe contact the help desk and ask them if you can open a second account with
a U.S. address. You can then merge the two accounts when you go back to Europe.

How could I make this work?

If I order with my account I would need to pay VAT. Which is not needed, as it's
not imported into EU, but shipped to an address within the USA. A private person
can import €430 into EU without paying import duty/taxes (according to the customs
website of The Netherlands).

If I would buy a lego set in a shop, I would not pay NL-VAT either. But only
the local sales taxes.
