Plus you've got costs for packaging stuff and getting to the post office, as always.
The thing is, it has to be worth a seller's while to sell on eBay, and with fees being the way that they are, it gets tougher. I personally add about 1-2 dollars above what I anticipate the shipping costs will be into my shipping fees to cover some of these other things. I'm not a huge seller, mind you, I just put up some of my stuff every few months or so. But, I do want to make some money (so that I can buy more stuff), and the costs of eBay have to be taken from somewhere. Obviously, 20 dollar shipping for an item that costs 8 bucks to ship is another story, but I can certainly understand charging more for "shipping" than actual shipping costs alone. |

^ Yup shipping starts at $8.50 for 1 fig from Canada to USA.
That's not "our" price, that's Canada Post's price.
