[meteorite-list] I thought of an idea on how to get around the price increase on eBay on some items

[Phil Whitmer]

That trick has been around since the beginning of eBay. It's now officially 
against the rules:





According to the eBay website. the policy on fee circumvention for shipping 
is as follows:
Unreasonable shipping or handling costs - The seller may add a reasonable 
shipping and handling fee to the final price of the item, but may not charge 
excessive shipping and handling fees, excessive required insurance fees, or 
excessive (or not applicable) taxes in an effort to make the item appear 
artificially inexpensive, to avoid eBay fees, or for any other purposes. A 
shipping and handling fee may cover the seller's reasonable costs for 
mailing, packaging, and handling the item. Shipping and handling fees may 
not be listed as a percentage of the final sale price. Please see the 
complete Excessive Shipping and Handling policy for more details.
