Anybody else quit Ebay because of fees and tax?

[37 Coupe]

I was supposed to look at a set of five wheels and tires and an engine and transmission right before the virus hit early spring or March. Seller was close by50 miles or so but opted out and told me he would contact me later when everything lifted.Well he never commited and put everything on Ebay and now they hit you with taxes so thats okay but just wonder what that has done to items not $100 but hundreds of dollars? I did see where he got $3,500 for the engine that a widow said was rebuilt but no paper work or any proof.I may have been able to tell if I had the opportunity to look at it but he wanted $4,500.00 at that time,price of a rebuild. Now with taxes items like this really ad up t final payment.
