That's all good if you have a niche or rare item but some items eBay is too competitive on and you aren't going to sell yours if someone else is also selling and offering free shipping.

I have no problem selling items with calculated shipping. It may sell for less but if you live on the east coast like me and someone from CA buys a 2-3 pound item then that's almost $15-20 for USPS priority mail and not much less for parcel post. I usually offer discounted or free shipping for media mail or first class (1-13 oz packages) or for items that I know will sell for a few hundred dollars. But it's just not worth it to me to sell a $50 item with free shipping to give back $20 to the usps.
