Its illegal in Canada/US, as per the following eBay Listing Policy:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/...umventing.html
Unreasonable shipping or handling costs - The seller may add a shipping and handling fee to the final price of the item, but may not charge excessive shipping and handling fees, excessive required insurance fees, or excessive (or not applicable) taxes in an effort to make the item appear artificially inexpensive, to avoid eBay fees, or for any other purposes. A shipping and handling fee may cover the seller's reasonable costs for mailing, packaging, and handling the item. Shipping and handling fees may not be listed as a percentage of the final sale price. Please see the complete [link=http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/listing-shipping.html]Excessive Shipping and Handling[/link] policy for more details.
Then read the examples. You can set any damn price you want, but we are discussing SHIPPING fees, not sales prices.
If you don't report them when you see them, you are part of the problem, so do not whine when you get skinned on shipping.
