The reason for them wanting you to pay shipping is simple. Their margins are so low, they lose money by having to triple ship (there-back-there again...). You can't get items cheap and think that if something goes wrong you'll be taken care of... Sellers on eBay have never worked that way, period. Probably some exceptions out there, but I would argue they are a rare find.
