That's a non sequitur.

The encouragement to keep shipping costs low is competition, not additional fees to the seller. It would be interesting to hear the two-step ebay needs to make to make these two things jive. My guess is smaller sellers get screwed and the larger sellers make special deals.

Nothing new under the Sun.
