"What you will probably see is the average
"shipping and handling" fee's go up......"

And the people to blame are those that bid on the auctions that increase handling fees to cover their cost of doing business. Doing so signals that it's okay.

If you want to stop the practice of sellers padding their s&h then stop buyig from them, plain and simple.

As I stated in the previous thread on this topic, eBay is just doing what EVERY auction seller is doing - tryning to get as much as possible for the service/goods it offers. If you as a seller are not interested in getting the best price possible then you shouldn't be selling at auction, but rather at a fixed price on your own website or here on the chipboard.
