I guess this talk explains why I have people telling me I can ship a 2lb item for $3 (not media mail). I've had customers tell me that since this seller is charging $3 for shipping for an item that I should be able to too.
I always wondered why some sellers would charge 1/3 of the cost of shipping.
Then I wonder even more when they charge $3 for shipping and $7 for the actual price for a total price of $10. What the heck? How are they making money when that item will cost $8-$10 to ship?! Not to mention the Ebay fees and the cost of the item in the first place!
I don't get those sellers.
