Just seems like more shoddy logic from Ebay to me.
Lower your fees by raising your shipping expenses.
Also checked on the new Final Value "savings". 0 to $50 is going down from 8.75% to 7.5% but anything over $50 is actually being raised from 4% to 4.5%.
This certainly doesn't seem like it will even come close to covering the full value fee tack-on to the S&H costs.
Not that I should be surprised. Their numbers never actually ever come close to matching up with their pitch.
It's another rate hike, plain and simple.
