Agreed.

I think the big difference is that's common commercial practice. Most every vendor at every site quotes their prices before tax. You go to Walmart, Burger King, or Shoe Barn, and their prices are all before sales tax.

In the case of eBay, with eBay buyers theoretically being located just about anywhere in the world, quoting the complete price would be a challenge.

Straight money grab- nothing more, nothing less. If you explain it as anything else you probably own an auction house.

Here in Mass, including the tax as part of the sale price is not allowed. If the tax isn't calculated on the total sale, the store ends up over or under collecting the tax.
