eBay is now charging a fee on shipping. Their spokes-hole Orwellian double-talk PR department will the tell you it's to lower shipping costs, but it has the exact opposite effect.
You see eBay used to only charge a commission of 10% on the price of the item and nothing on shipping.
Now that eBay wants to raise their fees again, eBay will now take a cut out of shipping! 12.5%, so how will sellers compensate for this? By raising their shipping prices by 12.5%. Shipping commission 9% + paypal 3.5%!
