On a related note, I sold a cordless drill with a bad battery on eBay
a month or so ago.  In the auction, I mentioned that I wasn't going to
include the bad battery due to the shipping cost increase.  When I
went to ship it, I noticed that the shipping fee was about 5 cents
below that of the flat-rate box, so I went ahead and threw the battery
in the box and paid the extra 5 cents, figuring that they might forget
the model number of the battery otherwise, and the flat-rate box was a
better fit anyway.  She left me bad feedback and filed a complaint
with PayPal accusing me of excessively charging for shipping (and for
a "item not as advertised" because the drill - with the advertised bad
battery - didn't work, but that's not relevant here).

That's just the first thing I thought of when I saw "throw it in
either way"...
