For buyers : This is a good move
For sellers who are selling branded products : This is not a good move
For sellers who are selling unbranded products : There is no effect
For sellers who are selling branded products :
1. Margin from stockist/distributor will be 18% - 25%
2. Products with MRP < Rs.500 can't be listed. Because you can't sell in negative profit (or) above MRP rate
3. If product MRP is > Rs.500, then you can sell adjusting your profit
Final verdict : Branded items with MRP < Rs.500 willn't be available in eBay. Seems like eBay doesn't mind this. This will not affect sellers alone, it will also affect buyers who need to buy those items.
Flipkart, Amazon have shipping rates defined, why can't eBay do it?
Hope eBay will consider this.

Dear Ebay Team
Before posting the message have read feedback of all other sellers also . Majority of sellers are very happy with move .
But there are few sellers like us who will be demotivated , the simple reason that in branded products which we sell there is dealer margin 20 - 25 % only and to include shipping charges in MRP is not possible .
Rather I would request you to please allow shipping charges as it was there but you can have category wise capping on shipping charges so that sellers cannot mischarge customers .
There will be fair justice to customer and sellers both .
Hope to see some discussion and action in matter .
