Ebay: No to charging fees on postage for private sellers

The Issue

It's making it ridiculously expensive for small sellers to sell on ebay and it means that you put a low price item on not knowing what fees you will pay as it's not possible to know in advance if someone overseas will buy your item.  You could end up paying out more than you make on the things you sell. It's deeply unfair, it makes markets smaller and discourages people from selling large items or anything internationally. Ebay fees are high enough already, they say they are encouraging all sellers to offer free postage but actually they are just getting more in fees, denying sellers any choices and constantly changing the goalposts because they have no compeition.  In short it's extortion by a monopoly and as the seller make the money for the company they should be looking after them not crippling them at every opportuntiy.   Please sign this before we all get pushed out of the market.
