Shipping is a scam on ebay.
ebay does not get a vig on the shipping cost, only the sale and listing fees.
So tons of people sell items for $1.00 and charge $30.00 for shipping to save on the "commision"
$5 for shipping with an actual cost of $1.66 is borderline not terrible.
There is a little time and effort involved with S/H and if it's a business you need to consider it a cost.
Personally when I sell I only charge exactly what it will cost.
If I do an estimated and it's way out of whack, say estimated $10 and it actually cost $5 i'll refund the diff.
If the diff is only a buck or two I won't and I tell all my buyers that upfront.
So far everyone has been ok with it.
