And the examples I gave in the initial comment both are of low value and the one with higher value shipping cost added on to the sale has eBay plus and the lower cost shipping add on does not. Doesn’t make sense.
On the first example, the price is under $15, on the second example, the price is over $15 (which I mention because $15 seems to be around the dividing line from my observations - as I mentioned, item price definitely makes a difference when there is postage listed separately. If it's free post then there's no part of the cost ebay has to cover, so item price plays less of a role if you have free post.
If eBay has to pay for postage on a plus purchase, they probably have data to support the price range they decided on, eg maybe people think more carefully about $15+ purchases, or are less inclined to return them for whatever reason.
