Why would you not factor in the buyers premium into your bidding? It makes no sense to me that if you were willing to pay $6000 through an auction house that you would not be willing to pay $6000 through Ebay for the same item. How that $6000 is broken up shouldn't matter, your overall cost is the same.
Regarding the sales tax, whether it is collected by the auction house or not, is totally dependent on whether they are required to collect it. While Ebay has more individual sellers who don't collect it, there are certainly sellers on ebay with legitimate businesses that do.
