This went from being about $300 dollar shipping to arguing about ebay fees.

You don't pay your taxes you go to jail. They call you a criminal. You circumvent ebay fees you are a scammer. End result of people doing that is the rates go up for the rest of us who sell within the rules.
You all go ahead and raise your kids to think it's ok to bend the rules as long as it's to your own benefit. And wonder why the world is such a great place these days.

Anytime you play w/ numbers it will eventually show up somewhere else, I think the guy is trying to be clever but I Believe in accountability and who knows where this will come back and bite him.....maybe a trade agreement with the manufacturer..... I.R.S. Who knows .I do think he is clever though.

wonder if I can buy it and do a local pick up on the item instead of shipping it. I could save the 300 and drive to him to get it.

A seller is being dishonest and some people applaud it. But when the seller's dishonesty affects them personally, they get out the pitchforks. 
There's another reason to watch for these shipping fee scams. If you file a PayPal claim due to it being damaged, lost in transit, not-as-described, or just plain dissatisfied with the product... the seller gets to keep your $300.
eBay is putting an end to these scams, but it ends up hurting legit buyers and sellers the most. Scammers will find other ways and the cycle continues.

What pisses me off is when ebay sellers charge 20-30 bucks to ship something that weighs a pound or two. Then they dont send it 2-3 priority but 1st class or parcel post. come on!!!!

You nailed it by mentioning the fact that there is no recourse for the shipping fees if the seller bails on the deal. I'm sure his auction will get reported soon enough.
Well someone either bought it or ebay pulled it because it has ended.
