While I understand that eBay has to make money, I need justification for charges like this. I have attached a picture for clarification. eBay can not charge and should not charge a fee for individual items sent in the same parcel. Let me try to clarify. A buyer recently bought 7 items for a value of £9.47, and eBay charged the buyer £5.39, but if the same buyer buys a bundle with the same amount of cards for the same value, the buyer will be charged the fixed fee + £0.75. eBay should consider this new charge and one fixed fee per single transaction, instead of this nightmare that makes everyone confused, buyers and sellers.

The changes are for private sellers only,and as a Business ebay need to compete with other online venues.
You accept the ebay user agreement to include any changes.

If you upgrade to business seller, buyer premium & money hold do not apply.
Opt out of simple delivery & you can charge your own postage costs.

Although I can see your point, the buyer would have been aware of the cost per item and the total cost before they bought.
When there were selling fees, the 30p per transaction was only added once, even for a multiple sales but there is not really an easy way for Ebay to add the BPF once when items are priced individually.
As a seller, when this happens, you could offer to make up a 'custom bundle' for the buyer. You would have to cancel the individual sales and make up a 'one off' listing consisting of the items the buyer wanted.
