Default Observations of Shipping Cost Complaints

Posted By: Cobby33

As both a buyer and seller, I can see both sides of the argument. But I have to say that with few exceptions, sellers never "profit" from S/H charges.

I also get annoyed when I list cards for friends, who get pissed I deduct eBay and Paypal charges from their net, saying that I am "making money" with my $3 S/H charges. As others have pointed out, that barely covers shipping; bubble mailer and top loader or related protection. It also doesn't cover the time spent packaging and time depositing the items in the mail. For those of us who have other jobs, this isn't entirely convenient.

Finally- I have always placed standard U.S. postage/rates on shipments to Canada. Why is it more expensive to ship to CN?
