Default OT - new eBay twist - minimum purchase

There is a small DC motor in eBay stores & I inquired as to the shipping
cost. The reply included the comment that they have a $20 minimum for
eBay Stores purchases! The motor is offered at $12.50. How do you
suppose that they invoke the $20 minimum? Anybody else seen this
phenomenon?

Is this an EBay thing or that particular store thing? Is the shipping free
if you buy the minimum?

I suspect that eBay would not approve if they knew about it. Shipping
is extra.
