Marc,
Good for you! People have to stand up to these unscrupulous businessmen, and I applaud your steadfastness. The "handling" fee is nothing but a way for the seller to pad his profit margin. Some people argue it's necessary because of all the "time and cost" spent packing and driving the package to the post office. Big Deal! My opinion is if you don't want to do it, then don't.
Another aggravation I have with dealing with these small time entrepreneurs on EBay are shipping times. I'll buy a DVD or something else small, pay priority shipping ( for those in U.S., priority is around 3 days ) then the lazy seller won't ship for 5 days. It's even more annoying when the guy emails you and says that he shipped the package, and when you receive it 5-10 days later, it is postmarked 2 days ago :mad:
