I think the problem was that there were a abuses.  You try to provide a
convenience to your real customers and loads of dirtbags crawl out of the
swamp, grab the freebies, and sell them on ebay.  It's a tough ballance
between getting abused and treating the people right you want to entice to
your products.  By the way, during the time of the shipping charge, shipping
was still free with higher limits on number and frequency of samples for PIC
consultants.
