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.

That is exactly the point. If I bid $5000 at the auction house and pay $6000 the seller gets paid based on the $5000 selling price. With Ebay they get paid based on the $6000 price. This thread is about which is better for the seller.
