Ultimately Ebay certainly doesn't seem to care about anyone really understanding this fluently, with private sellers especially being able to work-out what is going on with pricing. They've effectively ruined rounded pricing on most private sales listings (whether that's 6.00, 5.99. or 5.95 per seller preference), as most sellers have absolutely no idea on what the finished price will be on listing, which all makes the site look and feel shabby and naff.
Buyers are also affected when bidding, not understanding whether they're bidding with or without the BPF included half the time. All equalling less sales in the confusion.
And to make matters worse, Ebay fail to comment on ANYTHING properly... on the Wed thread staff chat, they keep saying 'we're looking into this', or 'we'll get clarification on this' – it's all one-dimensional platitude type answers to keep sellers sweet hoping for future answers, but no actual answers.
