This is a disgusting & greedy move by ebay.
Postage services are NOT supplied by ebay so why should they profit from them?
True, they already get a % of postage fees paid via paypal but now they are trying for more.
This will see the end of the small occasional sellers, reducing the variety of items & becoming more of a business site!
The Ebay member agreement states that ebay International they are abiding under NSW laws.
Here is a link to the NSW Fair Trading Website Complaint Page who help to administer those laws -

If you feel as strongly about this matter as I do, please lodge a complaint with Fair Trading & lets hope that they are able to assist!
I've complained!
