Well the person that we have been talking about (Mr $14 S&H) had one auction that said he was charging more for shipping and handeling because he needed to make profit from it. I guess he figured that he should not say that and stopped putting it on his auctions. He posted on the Auction that he bought the item for $29 and the Dutch auction started at $29 each. Everyone knows that there is a problem with that on Ebay and we all know it is almost impossible to police. It seems to be an accepted practice. Ebay needs to lower their rates and make S&H a field in the auction creation form. Then they could include the S&H fee in the current price that way no one could hide their fees. Of course Ebay would not lower their rates if they did this. They would just make it a new revenue stream.
