Fee avoidance.
 
Most try to conceal it but some are a bit more blatant about it. Billy

The seller is from the UK and charges £30.00 to ship within the UK,
but charges £4.50 to ship to the US? I think he/she forgot to edit
the international shipping box when listing the auction.

What a dolt. I've just reported him to the eBay authorities. Now let's see
if they close the auction.

I should have used the title attempted fee avoidance. :-)

ALL CAPS in a large red font, to be avoided just for that of course. Billy

If I bid £30, but the shipping to the UK is £30, but the shipping to the USA
is only £4.50, the hell with taking the auction down, I want the £20's for
half price. This guy loves Americans - what a fine bloke.

I'll bet you told on who talked when teacher left the room too.
You'd have been a happy Nazi in Hitler's Germany, wouldn't you?
Please list your eBay ID so I never purchase anything from you, you
shmuck!

I believe it is spelled shmuck or the variant schmuck but definitely
not smuck.

I think the above logic falls considerably short.

Reporting to eBay is the proper think to do. Otherwise, the seller who
practices fee avoidance can have a nice advantage over other sellers who
follow the rules.

Two young employees once came to my office and tipped me off about another
employee who was stealing from me. I took care of the situation but the two
informants were badly treated because they were "rats". Never once did it
enter my mind that the two informants would have been happy Nazis.

Rule? What rule? Show me where eBay has any regulation on what a
seller can charge for shipping.
Oh that's right, you can't, because it doesn't exist.
There's no advantage either since any bidder is going to take the
shipping charge into mind when deciding what to bid.
No, no, ratting to eBay is just a weasly thing to do.
