Why is ebay charging CA buyers addt'l fees on electronics not required by the state?

I just bought a laptop which states "For Parts only" in the title and was in the "For parts not working" category. At checkout ebay added $5 for the electronic waste fee in CA which only is due on New and Refurbished items. If I buy a scrap laptop locally you are not charged the fee. The fee should not be applied to any electronic devices in the Used or For Parts not working categories. I have not paid for my item yet until the fee is removed.

EBay is STILL WRONGFULLY CHARGING that $4.00 ewaste fee to California buyers!  They have not fixed anything.
