One thing I think is incredibly stupid and wrong is that ebay now limits what a seller charges for shipping to a certain amount. If you are required to clearly state shipping costs in your ad (required by ebay) why can't you just skip items with exorbitant shipping? No longer can you ship an item priority mail (or at least they don't let me) and charge either exact postage for shipping. Actually I was going in the hole because I ALWAYS send with a delivery confirmation. Sending it priority mail was a way of sending it in a stiff, sturdy box for protection plus getting it there fast. Now the guys who use recycled envelopes, sometimes not even padded, are rewarded and can actually charge more than actual postage by sending it media mail. It just doesn't make sense!
BTW- I still see others who send out a poster on ebay and charge $12 shipping for a $5 item but sports card sellers are discriminated against.
