To paraphrase a recent political figure - “you betcha”. It is hypocritical of Ebay to chastise us (sellers) for charging to much shipping, but encouraging us to charge as much as we possibly can get for the item.

And then they have the nerve to act as though we sellers are UNETHICAL! Really!
I’m unhappy about this too.

I have to agree with you, that ebay is just doing the free shipping to get more money and I am surprised that it is not mentioned more by the ebay blogs. I have found few instances of comments on how the supposedly “free shipping” gives ebay and paypal a bigger cut on their commissions. Not a very happy ebay seller right now.

Great article. I quoted this on my own post about how Feebay is unwilling to fix the fundamental economic problem with their listing fees and policies.
