i.e. They're selling items for unusually low prices
yet charging almost 200% the selling price for
shipping. In other words, it's obvious they're making
up their "loss" on the price in the shipping/handling
fees and at the same time they pay Ebay a lower
percentage final value fee because the selling price
is so low.
Does that help clear it up?
