I'm not going to defend ebay's move, but there is another side to this. I once bought a clock on ebay. The same clock was available from several sellers. Most charged about $8 for shipping, and their clocks sold for $30-35. Others charged $40 for shipping. Their clocks sold for a dollar or not at all. These sellers were clearly charging the full value of the item in their shipping fee. In this way, they avoided ebay's fees (and maybe even lured in a few careless shoppers). I can see ebay wanting to prevent this. Of course, that doesn't mean that ebay has no other motives.
