It is a straddle pane margin. The right side was the edge of a pane.

ebay sometimes inflate definitions of terms to enhance the desirability of what they are selling. Calling this stamp a "straddle pane single" would be an example of that.
Straddles do indeed only occur along the center gutter between adjoining panes on a 200 subject plate, and they do serve to point out that such a stamp came from one of the positions along either side of that gutter. However, the term "straddle" is usually only applied to a stamp which shows a bit of printing along both sides of the gutter, thereby effectively "straddling" the gutter.
A straight edge along either side with a wide unprinted space between the edge and the printing does not necessarily come from the center gutter. All of the stamps along the outside edges of the plate were given extra outside margin. When the perfs are set wide enough it is sometimes possible to trim the outside perfs and still leave the kind of wide margin most often associated with the center gutter.
Let me suggest that unless you see printing on both sides of a wide straight edge, do not call it a "straddle margin stamp" or pay a premium to anyone else who does that.
