So then why not ship first class? You are telling us that people who buy a meteorite from you on ebay for $0.99 cents and then pays $4.05 shipping is not being ripped off? Even if you are not keeping the money, it is just stupid to pay so much when it can be shipped for barely $.50 cents pluss $25 cents or so for the padded envelope. Mike Farmer

Most people PayPal payments including shipping. After PayPal takes their cut, I actually lose money on shipments. I combine on the average 5 items bringing down the customers' costs to just 81 cents an item. I combine over two auction sessions allowing them to bring shipping costs down even further. The buyer gets their items in 2 days without the breakage you get by shipping in padded envelopes. I have found, that overall Priority Mail is the only way to go and nobody is get ripped-off!
