Quick question for Californians. In CA, coin purchases greater than $1500 are sales tax exempt. Is that determined by bid + buyer's premium or only bid?

I expect it would be the amount that you pay less shipping unless taxing of that is allowed.
Publication 177, Internet Auction Sales and Purchases, July 2019
Freshly dated publication.

“When you purchase merchandise from an out-of-state retailer, you are liable for the use tax due on your out-of-state purchases. The use tax rate is the same as the sales tax rate for any given California location.
Whether the seller charges a lump-sum price or itemizes the merchandise price and other charges, tax is due on the entire purchase price. Any service fees related to a taxable sale are generally taxable, however, shipping and delivery charges may not be taxable (see Shipping and delivery charges).”
Total $ amount of the transaction must be $1500 or more. To my understanding this includes all premiums and fees.
So, this tax penalizes the poor guy that can only afford a roll of ASEs?
