Because some smart alecks abused it by pricing their items low and setting exorbitant shipping costs, so they only paid tiny fees on their sales! All while making max profit!
several years ago, when there were only fees on the sale price of the item, sellers would, for example, list an item worth 30 euros with a fixed price of 1 euro and 40 euros shipping fees, so they only paid very low fees. then eBay reacted...
Hello, yes, but even so you’re obliged to include the fees in your selling price, so that comes to the same thing. Unless you don’t pay any shipping fees, but in that case all the sellers would be very, very interested!

Yes, but it still exists. On Ebay.fr, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen any, that’s true, but on Ebay.de it’s still very common.
