Well, I know why sellers do this ^^^.

Here is the breakdown

if you have item A on ebay for

10$ + 3$ shipping, for total of 13$ you have to pay ebay 9%, or .90

Whereas

if you have item B on ebay for

3$ + 10$ shipping, for total of 13$ you have to pay ebay 9% or .27

A little tweaking of the shipping goes a long way if you are an ebay income only person...its a nice way to stay away from ebay fees, because they cant charge ebay fees on what you charge to people to ship...

Thats why you will see the same seller has the same item, just reversed amounts for the actual price of the item, and what they charge for shipping...either way the seller sells the item for the same amount, its just the difference in what ebay takes from the item...

Hope all this made sense
