Maybe their super spic research & leading questionnaires tell them what they want us to believe buyers think.

Minimal savings on post when FVF are added - and lets put in context, given eBay would get a MASSIVE corporate discount for MASSIVE volume of post processed and $$$ of extra profit go off shore to Swiss bank account -  I simply can't see the broad benefit to Oz sellers nor Oz economy nor any actual postive flow on to Oz consumers TBH. 

Lets not forget FVF on international post - frequently unable, or highly difficult, to be calculated by sellers until purchase is made.
