Ebay charges a fortune.  And if you use Paypal, then they get a cut on both
sides as they own Paypal.  They're hardly being cheated.  In fact they just
recently raised their rates, again.

So long as people are up front about the shipping costs, then who cares if
they tack the entire cost of the item on to it.  I personally *always*
factor in the cost of shipping when purchasing something off Ebay.

OK, sorry to have gone off topic.
