I think I may have once or twice seen a 140mm rotor which seems to have
largely died off? Plus the mixed rotor sizes which perhaps makes more sense
on a road bike though different rotors will give a difference feel to the
levers so considering the tiny bit of weight difference between a 140mm and
160mm rotor doesn’t seem worth it.

Tax would be your government rather than EBay, in uk in general it’s not
taxed as such though if your business is selling 2nd goods and services the
yes.
