> eBay sales for $1.99, $50 shipping, and should be banned by policy. eBay deprioritizes listings like those, and is generally up-front with fixed&calculated shipping costs. In an effort to compete with Amazon, eBay really wants sellers to offer free shipping but sellers hate it because it’s often not a fixed cost (especially here in Canada). eBay used to exclude shipping costs from their commissions. So sellers, like me, used to list things for $0.01 and $X shipping (literally in the title) until eBay caught on. But nobody was stopping you from paying more for the same item with realistic/free shipping.
