I believe all ebay's trying to do is set us up for changing the FVF to include the sold price PLUS shipping and handling.
They don't really give a rat's butt about what people charge for shipping. If they did, as one of the earlier posts mentions, they could find thousands of "excess" shipping charges in a matter of minutes.
I think they're gonna play this game for a while, ignoring the blatant offenders and shooting honest sellers at will. Then, in a month or two, announce that the "excess shipping fees" are unenforcible because the "community" is just too big.
The, in order to "level the playing field" the FVF will expand to INCLUDE shipping and handling.
Now I don't have a crystal ball...just my take on the situation so far.

Yahoo shops pay a final value fee or what they called commission to Yahoo which includes the shipping ,it has always been that way.
