[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1866743, member: 15929"]I agree with you as "Free Shipping" is simply non-existant. By that I mean, the Post Office doesn't deliver anything for free so that means that somebody has to pay for it. Of course this doesn't even factor in the costs "associated" with shipping such as coin protectors and envelopes. If your selling a $5 coin that you paid $5 dollars for, then you'll lose on seller's fee's AND shipping costs. Especially if all you sell are low dollar items and you sell a lot of low dollar items such as the OP's 35 coin buyer. Now, if my profit margin will allow it, I'll definitely offer free shipping as I don't mind picking up those costs out of my "profits". But as a general rule, I always charge "something" for shipping unless the profits warrant otherwise. Earning a penny here and a penny there just doesn't cut it anymore.[/QUOTE]
