Unfair shipping fees : eBay Guides

Another area of unfair practice in shipping fees is where a seller marks down a price drastically then makes up the difference by increasing the shipping fees accordingly. When you see for example an item listed as new yet the the price is significantly lower than similar other items, be sure to compare what the seller is showing for a shipping fee. Chances are the higher priced item will actually turn out to be the better buy when you factor in the shipping costs.
