Today I also checked my invoice - I am a seller that charges only the cost of a stamp to mail my items - the stamps, the paper, the envelopes, the printing, ink jets,  the fuel to take items to post office,  the time spent as a seller on listing & doing the right thing by supporting ebay are all out of my own pocket... Seems that this practise that Ebay has adopted to charge people a final value fee on shipping is TOTALLY UNFAIR you are being disrespectful to your customers who ARE doing the right thing regarding postal charges. EBAY SHOULD TARGET THE EBAY CHEATS THAT ARE MAKING THEIR MONEY OUT OF THE HIGH POSTAGE FEES - When it comes to the checkout then maybe a policy should be in place to offer sellers free shipping fees providing it is under a nominated amount for domestic & International $3 - $5 This is just a suggestion - I am a stamp seller so I only send letter mail - it will take thought to put a new policy in place.   To be honest, I think this has been an opportunist move by ebay & a kick in the face to those customers doing the right thing... ebay is not parcelling up my goods or having any hands on involvment, nor any expence associated with my chosen method of shipping... My shipping is mainly by ordinary or overseas letter rate... I guess there are ways to combat the extra fees & that is to offer free postage & that my friends means that this ridiculous quest by ebay to encourage us to do $1 start prices should also seize & that should be looked into to have a minimum sale start - that will mean that the adrenaline junkies that like to wait until the last few seconds to snap up something for $1 may feel less enclined to buy the same item for a start fee of $2.10... If changes have to be made then do it fairly [ MINIMUM START PRICE $5 with free POSTAGE ]
