Global shipping program may be different. I don't use it, but It's possible Ebay calculates VAT and other taxes into the fee when calculating and may take the next price bid up when listing that shipping cost.
If there is a stated shipping fee, nobody makes money on Ebay gouging on shipping (except for maybe Ebay). Ebay takes a bigger cut of the shipping fee then they do for the actual item, for most bigger sellers, not even mentioning the cut Paypal takes.
International shipping charges and the ramifications of lost packages to those sellers have been escalating out of control the last several years. With the coming trade war, it's not going to get any better.

I could be mistaken, but I believe I have seen the shipping fees rise when the bids on the cards have also risen.
I will watch the links above and a few others to make sure I am not wrong, but I believe that is what I have seen? (I'll likely end up putting my foot in my mouth again, however!
)
