Yes, this is another reason to offer free shipping. When someone flames you, they will flame every category they are allowed to use. By not having any direct communication, by offering free shipping, by shipping within one day, the only thing left is item not described accurately. Fortunately, as long as you do a good job in this regard, you should not get a repeat there. People just like to whine about shipping, even when your charge is fair. So by eliminating this possibility, its a lot easier to keep top rated seller.

Please don't confuse ebay "asking" prices with "selling" prices. Many sellers never get their ask price. some are far from it. Value is determined once an item actually SELLS. Its easy enough to check SOLD prices.
