I personally feel there is something very wrong with jacking the shipping costs up to avoid paying fees owed to
ebay. Ebay is not stealing their money, It is a legitimate fee ebay charges for the listing. There is nothing
wrong with making companies richer, they are in business for profits, and if they do not make profits they go out
of business where does that leave us the consumers?
