You're right, it's certainly not illegal. But it is a violation of eBay
rules, FWIW. It's called fee avoidance, you can look it up on their site.
And many people don't notice until after they bid that the price is low
and
the shipping is too high.

Not being dishonest about anything. S/H is clearly stated. Bidders are
welcome to bid $8 less than what they will bid for similar items that
start
at $27.95. As for why not start at $18? Save on eBay insersion fee, and
eBay
final price fee.
