What's the deal with eBay, anyway?

Something like that, you should report. Basically, people will inflate the S&H price, because eBay/Paypal won't take their percentage out of that, just the "purchase price." So in that case, eBay would get a percentage of $5, while the $200 is all the seller's to do what they want with.

Not that I'm a protector of eBay or anything, but if someone's willing to try and screw eBay out of money, who's to say they wouldn't try to screw you too, while they're at it?
