Ebay collects sales tax on my behalf - how do I report this to CRA? | Selling

I am a small seller. Ebay collects sales tax on my behalf. I did under 30k in gross sales. Don't want/need to register for GST/HST for this year. I have the understanding that If I had $20,000 in Total sales (Includes taxes), and ebay collected $2,000 in taxes on my behalf, I would report my gross income as $18,000, then deduct expenses, ebay fees, shipping, etc. How does the CRA then know that eBay remitted the taxes on my behalf and paid them for me? Do I then have to pay sales taxes e.g. GST/HST on the balance? Am I overthinking this? Is there a box on the T2125 to put sales tax that was already paid by eBay?
