High priced shipping cost
Are some sellers charging less for their items and way too much for shipping? It seems like they are trying to keep the sellers fees as low as possible. I am looking at items that should cost between 40 and 50 USD and they're charging 125 USD. This is nothing more than deceptive advertising.

Mentor1 year ago@light-zone9 I wanted to clarify for you how eBay fees work....
eBay fees are charged on the item price + shipping + sales tax that a buyer pays.
Charging more for shipping doesn't save the seller any money for eBay fees.
Shipping prices are based on package dimensions, weight, and distance to the buyer. Packages over 1 cubic foot do have dimensional surcharges and the cost can really add up.
Sellers are allowed to add a handling fee to the shipping cost to cover shipping supplies which can cost a lot depending on the type of item.
