Found one of the worst examples of fee avoidance I have ever seen, and I doubt eBay will address it.

When doing some product research I stumbled on a result that made no sense.  Randomly looked at the listing for the fun of it.  Then by dumb luck decided to look at more of their listings to see what they sell.  With all these random dumb luck circumstances I happened to notice over 79 thousand of their items were incorrectly listed in the computer motherboards category which is one of the lower fee rates categories.

 

Funny thing is I know what happens the few times I have accidentally miscategorized items.  I get warnings and threats from eBay.  For some strange reason that bot must not scan listings from China. 

 

I wish I could report it, but not like anything would happen.  Sellers like this are the reason why we have to pay fees on shipping, and our fees are so high in general...

I wish I could avoid fees on that level.  I would save a couple grand a year under this new fee structure.

Might make eBay some much needed fees to look into this.
