The real reason for eBay fees on mailing? Example is because too many sellers were selling items for $5 and charging $20 to mail a letter size item.

So the $24 item only got charged by eBay a fee on $5 as $20 was for mailing, instead of a fee on the honest cost of the item!

This mailing scam is now totally shut down by eBay and now eBay makes a profit on the whole sale.

How easy it is to turn the tables on the dishonest and disadvantage the honest in the same process.
