It's a little more than just "everything else"
Here is their announcement:

Geez..I still don't see no collectibles categories. Just throw them under Everything Else???
Now if they would just let the sellers have their $$$ within a couple of days instead of holding it for weeks on end, I wouldn't mind listing a few thousand items.

I went through the motions to see how you list, and one thing I noticed is that in this category they do not use shipping allowances. You can specify a shipping method and rate and calculate a total price. Half.com will take it's commission off of that. At least that was the impression I got. Some listings specify they ship Priority, others ground".

Wish someone there would have had the bright idea to get the site moving just a bit faster (than Slow!) before they enlarged it!

They take 15% of your total price, including the shipping. So you either need to bump up your shipping or be sure your item price can cover the 15% on the whole amount.
