This has really been done to death.  EBay has charged fees on postage for at least 15 years. 

 

I could be said that it is to prevent a seller setting his price at 99p with £10 postage. 

 

Many of us sell as "post free" [not free at all, more "included"] which means that we get charged on the whole price and the buyer is not troubled with any postage queries.
