Large shipping costs were a way to circumvent eBay's fees. They didn't charge fees on shipping costs if I recall correctly.

This is it. I’d sell stuff for 1 cent and put the $5 S&H in the title itself.

(This was for video games that would cost me like $1 to ship).

With Airbnbs it is similar: local taxes generally don't apply to cleaning fees.

Airbnb does take a cut of them though, so it's unlikely they'll lead the push to punish the practice like eBay did.
