For some reason buyers' expectations have reached the point where they almost won't buy from you if you don't offer free shipping, which is fine if you're selling an item that's valuable enough that you can cover the cost off what you make off the item, but on low-value items or items that don't sell you lose money even listing it. That's why I gave up ever selling anything on eBay anymore.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even though I have never charged anyone a penny more for shipping than it cost me, I would still have people tell me they think my shipping is too high. I'm trying to make a profit; this isn't a public service for your benefit lol... I'm not trying to make a profit by jacking up the shipping like some do.</p><p><br /></p><p>The best I can say for eBay is it's a lot friendlier to buyers than it is to sellers.
