He probably had to pay 5% sales tax on it. That would
come out to

No. Sales tax is paid by the buyer. At least that is how eBay is working in CA. If I buy
something for $10 my final price is $11 tax included. eBay then pays the sales tax to the
state on behalf of the seller. Sales tax is passed on straight to buyers like anywhere
else.
