i dont know if they started it but i heard they were supposed to put fees on the total, item and shipping
so many sellers are putting items dirt cheap with crazy shipping costs so to make up for the loss in the sale itself
ebay knows this so they are supposed to add fees on shipping too to make up for the loss in the sale
i personally refuse to buy from a seller that puts high shipping costs
if i buy something and they wont quote a price til the auction is closed, i do go through with the purchase but dont expect good feedback
i sold an rc truck for $1800 us and the fees were actually very reasonable
