At this point, I'm tempted to take a vacation day and go get the table, just so this aution doesn't fall through.
I think she's trying to back out.
To go through ebay she'd have to charge the shipping costs per the auction, as it's all done automatically via ebay and paypal. And paying sales tax is not uncommon at all, though that wasn't specified in the auction. I would just tell her you'd pay her cash when you pick it up. Honestly, did you expect the seller to be good with this? I would never expect to be able to pick up the item without asking first and getting it in writing. Especially from a shady listing to begin with... Shady to me is trouble and I steer clear.
