I don't claim to be an Ebay wizard, so I happened to learn something, today, that I'm sure "all" you already know, but , anyway; one reason why an Epay seller 'demands' an exhorbitant, or excessive amount of "shipping & handling/packaging" expense is because THAT amount is NOT subject to the payment/charge for Ebay "fees". Sellers, can, and do, "give-away" some FWDLK items, but they make their profit on Ebay-fee-free mailing- charges. That's why, at times (I now realize!) a seller has been reluctant to 'negotiate' his mailing-charges---THOSE are his profit-margin! YEAH, I know; I always check-out an item's "mailing-charges", when I'm interested in it; I just didn't realize WHY those 'costs' were so important, to the seller.
