I also thought the shipping prices were very high, and I'm in the US,
in So CA.
As another example, I saw that one WC, which weighs but a few ounces
at most, had a quote of 16.85 to mail (expedited) within the US.
Unless something is 13 oz or more, it can be shipped USPS First
class; over that weight, it has to be mailed Priority.
As a test, I just went onto the USPS site, to mail a single WC, in a
'large size' package. I gave the measurements of this parcel as 24" x
18" x 1 inch thick, (since a WC is 14x22) and set the sealed parcel
to weigh 12 oz. I also chose a zip code back in the midwest to mail
to from my LA zip code.
Here are the price results:
USPS 2-Day Priority Mail: $7.85
USPS First Class Parcel: $4.34
I then decided to up the same parcel weight to 14 oz, but left the
parcel dimensions the same, to see if there would be any price
differences, with it being close to a pound in weight.
Results:
2-Day Priority Mail : $7.85
USPS Retail Ground: $7.84
So 2-Day Priority is not uber expensive. And the point isn't if one
buys 6 items, that there is combined shipping. It's the idea that if
someone wants only ONE item, that buyer should not be made to pay
some kind of over the top ship fee, even if it is sent Priority.
Charge a customer what it costs, (or maybe round it up to the next
whole dollar). That's what I have done, to keep the number simple and
even. But an additional 100%+ markup?
Being Overcharged for shipping is a huge peeve of mine and that's why
i felt the need to comment.

Hello Zeev,
The ebay default shipping is set for PRIORITY MAIL, that is why the
price is so high, AND the usps has raised their prices as of
February 1st.
I always ship according to the high bidder's request, so, in case
YOU win something, and don't want to have it shipped via Priority
Mail, I can ship it via Air Mail and the price I charge is
calculated according to usps.com, site everybody from all over the
world can see.
Another thing to keep in mind is that, as stated in my
descriptions, I combine shipping, so anything up to 8 lobby cards
can be shipped for the price of one.
Take care,
Lumi
