Suggestions for eBay Improvement

The thing I don't quite understand in eBay's greed for revenue is that they set insertion fees on tiers based on the starting price of the item. They do this as if the cost to them to post your auction is any different for a 1 cent auction or a $1,000 auction. Hmmm.... I didn't realize that html code had a certain weight based on starting price (sarcasm) from my understanding of computers, a server doesn't know or care what the price is, it just processes the information the same. This being the case, I'd say that eBay has arbitrarily decided that if you make more money then they should make more money. Fair enough. I guess Craigslist.com is the alternative for now and I do like them too.
