Fees collected

I guess by now others have realized that ebay is charging a fee based upon the total selling, shipping and handling and taxes.

Why are we all paying a fee on taxes which are paid by the buyer and is a pass through.

WHAT GIVES EBAY THE RIGHT TO COLLECT A FEE FROM THE SELLERS BASED UPON THE TAX VALUE OF THE ITEM SOLD.  IF IT IS A USED ITEM THEN TAXES WERE PAID WHEN PURCHASED NEW.  NOW THE BUYER PAYS TAXES AGAIN AND THE SELLER GETS BILLED A FEE ON THE TAXES.

eBay charges a fee on the tax collected because they are collecting it on YOUR behalf and sending it to YOUR state tax department. Personally, I feel we should have to the option of doing this ourselves .
