I think the recommendations are a good idea in theory. There are far too many novice sellers out there who keep relisting and relisting at the same excessive high price. I've also had friends who stopped selling on eBay because "nothing ever sold" and when queried, they said that they never really thought about changing the price.
I agree but, with the novice Sellers in mind, find it exceedingly inappropriate that the recommended starting price is such that if the item sells the Seller will actually make a loss on the transaction if they honour it. It just makes it clear that eBay as a corporate entity have no morals when it comes to their customers (the Sellers) as, even when the customer makes a loss (by following eBay recommendations and complying with eBay policies), eBay still make a profit.
