  With eBay receiving their fees based on the sales price AND shipping, they're not losing a penny...

  That's just blatantly stupid.
  
  Might as well have said, "Hey, I'm gonna give you all this stuff FREE, but you have to pay $790 shipping!"

  Have they started charging on shipping? If so, I guess one might as well offer "free shipping" so they can't ding on shipping charges.

  Why would eBay shut them down? Nothing wrong with those listings.
  
  It's a buyer be beware market anyway.

  It violates ebay rules - "Circumventing ebay fees - Excessive shipping charges." But, if they are now charging their fee on shipping, I guess it doesn't matter.

  Don't forget that if there is a return, the buyer doesn't usually get back the shipping costs.

  From an ebay message couple of days ago:
  
  "Starting April 19, for sellers without a Store subscription, the Standard Final Value fee rate for Auction-style listings will not change, but will be applied to the total amount of the sale, including shipping. The number of free Auction-style listings per month will be capped at 50, with maximum Final Value Fee of $100."

  I did to the day they were listed. Then I followed up a couple says later saying if this was acceptable, I would start doing effective immediately. Both times I received the usual canned response, "Thanks for reporting this. We take issues like this very seriously . . ."
  
  Yea Right!! As you can see, they are still there.
