Why is that? Did I miss something? I though it would lower the fees for those types.

I should have been more clear. There are some sellers who will post an item for .01-.99 cents and inflate the S&H fee to displace the FVF eBay charges. Since eBay does not take the fee % from the S&H, just the final price. So instead of selling an item for $9.99 + $5.95 S&H, some sellers do .99cents + $14.95 (or whatever).

With these new eBay policies, the buyer has a lot more power to adversely affect the sellers overall rating and thus change where the sellers items appear in the eBay listing when searched for. The more negative marks the less exposure eBay will give to their listings.
