probably by charging a lot on insurance on top of the "included" shipping to cover the real cost, and also keep down the amount paid in fee's to Ebay (no ebay or paypal fee's on shipping costs)

True - they're probably all made in the same factories, but by selling directly on eBay, the overheads are miniscule comapred to UK retail/office space etc
