Regardless of what it is or appears to be in the mind of someone who views it as an OK thing, it is a skim and it is a hindrance to new and average sellers as per the recent multiple complaints we've seen recently.
Well passing it on to the buyer isn't always a moral thing amigo.
there are many sellers who have always paid fees on postage . . . those that offered "free postage" on their items long before ebay formalised it.
Think about it . . . postage is never free. "Postage included" is a more accurate expression . . . and buy-now items without postage added on has always paid a fee on the postage paid by a seller.
It is one of the reasons given by eBay for charging a fee on postage.
A more accurate description would be that "eBay charges a fee on the transaction total". If they had done this from the very start we wouldn't get these whinging threads popping up with non-seller responses akin to "its not fair".
