ebay told me personally that you are not allowed to charge ANY fees over the final bid price except "reasonable" shipping an handling fees. Why? Because ebay doesnt get their commission on any fees over the final bid. Say you had a $1000 item, if you charged $900 shipping and handling, the bidding would only get to $100, ebay would get screwed. JCO
