When I sell on Ebay, I charge $3.25 for shipping for a raw card, which typically barely covers the shipping. I offer any additional cards that are purchased at no additional shipping charge if bought at the same time.
My thought is that I am trying to encourage multiple purchases, whereas if I had posted the card at the same overall amount with free shipping, there would be no incentive for people to buy additional cards from me at the same time (which is a lot easier on me as a seller...less time spent packing, less packing materials, less trips to the post office). If a customer were to buy two cards with free shipping a week apart, then everything becomes less ideal and more costly for me as a seller.
