I also don't order without checking the shipping charges. I add it to the cost of fabric. I have seen some crazy prices on ebay. When I ship I may add a few cents for having to drive to the PO but it is usually just rounding up a from say 2.47 to 2.50 I don't think that is unreasonable. :-) I won't charge any more that I would be willing to pay for something. And since I am on a very low fixed income that is not much. Have avoided buying or selling anything outside the 48 so far
