They charged $40 to $50 shipping and justified it as covering shipping,

the Ebay and Paypal fees??

It is against one's user agreement with PayPal to "charge back" PayPal fees.

They weren't/aren't chargin back the Paypal fees. They are just
justifying inflated shipping by saying they need to cover the Paypal and
Ebay fees.

That's also contrary to eBay policy. I don't know why they don't crack down
on it, since it's money out of their pocket.

It may be against Ebay policy, but many sellers do it. There would
probably be a seller rebellion if they started charging their cut on
shipping as some sellers pass along true costs and some items cost
hundreds to ship.
