In a nutshell, you oppose this suggestion because it does not fix the ENTIRE
problem you think exists. We fundamentally differ on two accounts here. First,
we do not agree on what the entire problem may be. Thus, for example, there are
times when I would prefer as both a seller and buyer for shipping to be determined
in the current usual customary manner. Second, you don't want to fix anything
unless it fixes everything 100%, whereas I prefer to fix part of a problem if
the entire problem cannot yet be fixed. When it comes to the "problem" of fees
and the thousands of complaints buyers have made over the years about seller
fees, I am simply of the view that it is better to fix something than nothing.
This suggestion does that. It does not answer everything. But it will most certainly
make things better for buyers.

Putting in efforts into unusefull features would be equal to delaying the setup
of the primary needed feature: that is having (or at least displaying) a total
cost before checkout. I see no reason why developers should waist their precious
time on something that most people do not want (all kinds of additional fees),
when there is a technical need (for some countries at least, and it is by LAW)
for the development of autocalculation of an entire order BEFORE checking out.
Your suggestion is patchwork on something that should be eradicated (and most
likely will be in the long run), I don't see in what way it would be helfull
for buyers, if they STILL can't see the total cost of the order (because
shipping wouldn't be included).
You say I don't want to have something if it isn't 100% fixed, but that's
exacly the point, all that is in your suggestion is pointless because the primary
'extra' cost is the shippingcost (oftenly much higher then any kind of
fee) and represents 70% (estimation) of what is needed, so why spend developers
time on 5 to 10 different fee options if they only represent 30% (estimation)
of the total 'extra' cost
