While I agree that sellers should ALWAYS list their postage fees upfront and it should be up to the buyer to decide if they agree to bid or not, I think there is also an issue with eBay fees here.

Sellers HAVE TO try to make a little bit pf profit on their postage as eBay fees and Paypal become so huge for high volume sellers, making it VERY difficult to stay above waters.

I think that it is totally ridiculous that sellers who list hundreds of auctions every week have to pay the same fees as sellers who only list once in a while. eBay should introduce lower fees for bulk listing and make it easier for sellers to drop the postage fees and their prices, too.

It is very easy to criticize sellers, but at least buyers have a choice of 'bid or don't bid'. Sellers who make a living off eBay can't afford the choice of going elsewhere as there is no competition with reasonable buyer exposure out there. eBay really needs to take a good, long look at themselves and stop being so greedy.

After all, eBay protects the buyers and not the sellers. Sellers have to bear the risks and pay the high fees as well. That is very unfair, as eBay bears no risks at all.

I hope buyers understand this.
