So basically, they just changed the minimum shipping charge to $2.67 per item.
Which basically eliminates someone buying a single (inexpensive) card.
So once again, Ebay screws the little seller (because they won't have the volume to have enough inventory to sell enough cards to make it worthwhile to a buying of inexpensive stuff).
So Ebay pushes more museum pieces and more big scale sellers. Guess they think that's good for their costs structure.

I just build the shipping into my price and offer free shipping.
That way nobody can complain about it and honestly it may make somebody who's super-cheap pick mine over someone else's who's around the same price, but charging for shipping.
It does kill the people who are selling cheap singles on there, but honestly that should be something that's sold on COMC or elsewhere that's specifically geared for that.
Again, the lowering of the discount for Top-Rated Plus down to the same thing as Top-Rated is dumb. It removes the incentive to attain that higher level by offering 30-Day returns which is stupid to begin with.
