I thought you missed that card by a mile, JFK, as it was at $125.00 just an hour or so before the auction ended but ended up over $700 in the dieing moments. Good job!

Global shipping program may be different. I don't use it, but It's possible Ebay calculates VAT and other taxes into the fee when calculating and may take the next price bid up when listing that shipping cost.
If there is a stated shipping fee, nobody makes money on Ebay gouging on shipping (except for maybe Ebay). Ebay takes a bigger cut of the shipping fee then they do for the actual item, for most bigger sellers, not even mentioning the cut Paypal takes.
International shipping charges and the ramifications of lost packages to those sellers have been escalating out of control the last several years. With the coming trade war, it's not going to get any better.

Well, I can put my foot in my mouth again as none of the cards I noticed increased the shipping fees the higher the card sold for. I swore I seen this before, but I was most likely wrong then as well.
I did, however, notice some of their shipping fees didn't make much sense to me as it seems some were just random guesses on their part.
Take this Hodges for example, why would shipping on a "Min size" unslabbed card be the same as a PSA 6 graded card?

This PSA 6 Spahn is $20 yet the 5.5 is $35 and another trimmed Spahn is also at $35??

There are many others that don't make sense to me but maybe I am being too critical as I assume they have hundreds of cards to classify and to come up with shipping fees on, but Like I previously stated, there is no doubt they are banking large on their shipping fees, which is getting out of hand, imo.
