[78-L] Postage crisis ??

[Cary Ginell]

That's patently ridiculous, and possibly illegal. Even it were true, how can eBay enforce this? Why would they be the only commercial enterprise in the world that refuses to allow a seller to charge for shipping costs? How do they justify this? Even if they removed the postage option from their online forms, what's to stop a seller from sending an invoice with the added charges on it? Are they going to police every single seller on eBay to make sure they don't charge for postage? Sellers have every right to charge for postage and buyers are more than willing to pay it.
