Funny part was it would even say why they were doing it in the listing and the price overall would be fair for the item but you would still see negative feedback about high shipping. Those types of sellers usually had the lowest overall prices because they saved on the fees. It's just not worth selling on ebay anymore unless you have a very high margin of profit.

Beat me to it. They stated this change many months ago to get the people that were doing what iceman said. A $51 sale before like above eBay would only get FVFs from the dollar and not the $50 shipping fee...you get the idea
