eBay allowed exorbitant shipping fees the last time I was buying hand tools—only last year.

(Manual—not powered—drill only $10, $70 shipping fee).

I’m talking about sellers and the percentage of the sale that Ebay takes.

I said that Ebay stopped sellers from dodging fees by overcharging for shipping. In the old days Ebay took a percentage of the selling price, this left a loophole for sellers to charge a lot for shipping and pocket the difference.

Ebay now bases their cut on the total of the selling price and shipping charge.
