YES I know...despite the fact that the shipping can include the cost of packing materials, our gas to deliver it, our ink to print the label AND the fact that ALL ebay buyers want their order TODAY..but only want to pay for next month's shipping rate!
I even shipped for FREE like ebay said we should and still got low DSR's on shipping..and I did NOT add anything into my shipping cost..and even refunded if it did come in under...do you know how many people do NOT check their PP accounts to see that refund??
So glad I closed that store..I can actually SLEEP at night and not worry about pleasing a hundred strangers with BAD manners every day!
I actually bought some patterns on ebay just this week from a seller in Alaska..her shipping quote seemed high so I ask her, and she said yes, the "model" put the price in at $4.95 for priority, but patterns can ship first class for only $2.50(there were 4 of them)...
what wonders a little communication can bring about!
