What a disingenuous claim by Ebay. Does Ebay think it's users are fools? Customers could always pass any savings they wanted wanted to buyers by modifying price and/or shipping charges. What they are doing is taking that control away from the seller. I don't benefit in any way as a seller from purchasing postage from Ebay. My shipping costs are always higher than I get reimbursed by a buyer and/or then I get back from Ebay if I purchase a label from eBay. But what's most irritating is dealing with statements by Ebay that are so clearly disingenuous at best, but that can best be described as out and out lies. Ebay has found a way to charge sellers more and more without appearing to be doing so. This includes the fact that items being sold don't appear or rarely appear in searches unless the seller pays more and more. Does Ebay not think sellers notices?
