Final Value Fee is based on Total Including Sales Tax for Canadians - WHY???

[salvadord]

Why is eBay going against their own posted policy??  eBay Canada is charging a Final Value Fee on the Total Amount of the Transaction, including the Taxes paid by buyer.  According to eBay themselves, Taxes are NOT TO BE INCLUDED in calculating FINAL VALUE FEE.  So then, why are they gouging Canadians and charging us in the Taxes also??  Here is their policy right from their own pages:

"If the item or relisted item sells, you're charged a final value fee calculated on the total amount of the sale and are charged per item.  In this case, the " total amount of the sale" is the final price of the item, shipping charges, and any other amounts you may charge the buyer. Sales tax is not included."

AM I MISSING SOMETHING HERE EBAY???????

Where are you seeing what you're seeing about taxes not being part of the Final Value Fee calculation?

This is what I see here (my emphasis):

We charge one final value fee when your item sells, and you don't have to worry about third-party payment processing fees. This fee is calculated as a percentage of the total amount of the sale, plus a per order fee. For orders $10.00 or less the per order fee is $0.30, for orders over $10.00 the per order fee is $0.40.

The total amount of the sale includes the item price, any handling charges, the shipping service the buyer selects, sales tax, and any other applicable fees. If you offer 1-day or international shipping as well as a cheaper or free option (like domestic shipping), the total amount of the sale is calculated based on the cheapest domestic option you offer. If you only offer 1-day or international shipping but no cheaper option like domestic shipping, the total amount of the sale is calculated based on the service the buyer chooses.
