A common item which sells on eBay for $100, will net you around $85 when you sell it on eBay. So if you go to sell it on N54, list it for $90. Or maybe even $85. A buyer is more likely to buy it here for the slightly lower price, you may end up netting out higher - everyone wins (except eBay).
Don't try to sell that common item for $110 on here or even $105; it won't work. But remember that you're saving a good chunk for not having to deal with fees - price it smartly, and it'll sell.

Sure, but how about the same price, and the buyer still saves the sales tax? Then, it's an even nicer win on both sides. It shouldn't perpetually have to cater to the buyer at the expense of the seller. Let both parties make off a bit better. I guess that's unfair to those who reside in OR, MT, AK, NH and DE, not to mention us Canadians, but...
To further bolster your suggestion, my lone successful sale in recent memory was structured just as you outlined.
