I'm simply NOT going to go the Free Shipping route for two reasons: A) I only want to use Priority Shipping. It doesn't usually get lost and the post office will pick up my parcels. Unfortunately Priority Shipping costs with insurance costs about $9 per shipment and I'm not going to absorb that and
B) I sell items that are $19.99 or even $15 sometimes and I can't absorb the shipping cost into the sales price. IT will make the price of the item seem too inflated. Nice try Ebay but I don't give a damn about your selling discount since I'm sure that will vanish as soon as everyone starts to offer FREE SHIPPING.

As it stands now, I do not overcharge for shipping and I always pack exceptionally well and do full insurance and delivery confirmation.
