YIKES! a SIX FOLD INCREASE .

If someone was being smart, they'd drop the item cost to near zero, then tack on a bit to shipping... although, Ebay has policies and filters in place to "catch" the ebay-fee dodgers that do things like that..
i'd divide the actual product sale price by 2.5, then make that the new sale price, and bump the shipping the same amount deducted from the original sale price........... then watch to see if 'bay catches the shift, and even approves ..

my tariff example is not "circumventing" anything... it's a stopper.... i dumped that item from my wish list. It smacks of Confusion Period Gouging!
