I have seen this kind of odd pricing before. I speculate that it's to pay a lower fee to the service (eBay, TAS) that provides the forum - since they take a percentage of the initial listing price, and / or the fixed selling price - but do not charge a fee to the seller on the shipping charges. This then allows the seller to get a higher total amount for their item. Of course, the buyer must include all the charges in the total amount they will pay. Seems to me a little bit like they're trying to exploit the system (in listing with such a low "selling" price), but people will often try to sidestep the rules and avoid fees.

This did work a couple of years ago. But now eBay makes you pay fees on the shipping costs, too. Probably because of people doing exactly what you have just described...
