As you know you can sort ebay items by "lowest price with shipping". Well some of these sneaky people have adapted to that (no more $99.00 shipping fees hidden away) and have made the "additional item" fee more than the shipping. $8.00 first item, $16 each additional. Something like that.
Clearly against the rules, but it's not like ebay will care. Just buy and pay for one item at a time.
Funnily enough I just filled out a survey about eBay yesterday and quite a lot of the questions revolved around shipping costs. Needless to say I put the worst possible comment I could for each answer to show my feelings about the way eBay's going.
I remember browsing for a mobile phone on ebay.co.uk and one sneaky person was selling the phone for £10 with £400 SHIPPING!!!!!! h: EDIT: Heres the actual link for that auction http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/sharps-gx30-memory-card-1gb_W0QQitemZ110259303943QQihZ001QQcategoryZ3312QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
