eBay charges us fees that they shouldn't! | Selling

I've been an eBay seller for 26 years; yesterday I found a problem with my selling fees charged by eBay that should NOT be occurring! Sunday I sold a book for $51.00 and my buyer sked me to cancel the purchase so I did. The very next day the exact same book sold, as it was relisted. The eBay selling/listing fees varied by $0.69 on these two buys because the first buyer's state did not have any sales taxes and the second buyer's state did. So I was charged 0.69 on this $51.00 purchase because of taxes the buyer - not me- is responsible for! I realize this is a trivial amount, but looking back on the purchases made in 2025 - some for hundreds of dollars, the amount that I SHOULD be receiving and eBay is keeping instead really adds up! Why do we, the eBay sellers, have to have part of the sales taxes eBay collects?
