I've experienced the same thing. I just budget the high shipping into my bid. If I'm willing to pay $300 for an Item, I assume that my shipping will be $25. So if the juice is 20% and my shipping is $25.00, my highest bid is $225-$230. I agree it is ridiculous, but you're never ripped off if you account for it and bid accordingly.
The $25 shipping assumption is for cards, paper, etc. Obviously I'd budget higher for a game used bat or something heavy/large.
