> Amazon & eBay have configured their fees to charge you more on any extra shipping line item to encourage sellers to make shipping "free".

Are you sure that is why? I thought it was because sellers started selling $1 items with $50 shipping and handling fees attached.

Also places where competitors are listed together are hard to browse unless "total cost" is listed explicitly somewhere (having to figure out whether the $19 or $5 with $5 shipping is better is annoying).
