<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 1593558, member: 15309"]Ya know it is funny. I used to charge $2 per item for S&H and print the cost of shipping on the mailing label. The lowest cost without insurance is $1.64, but with the cost of corrugated safety mailers, mailing labels, paper for invoice, and padded bubble mailers, it is pretty easy to see how the cost is around $2 per item. I did this until browsing Cointalk one day and a guy mentioned that he would give any E-Bay seller a low S&H rating for a raw coin if the charge was more than $0.44, the price of a stamp. It was at that moment that I realized that reasonable S&H is like the weakest link in a chain. That day, I changed all my listings to free S&H to protect my detailed seller rating and preserve my top rated seller discount. In the long run, I believe that the 20% top rated seller discount in combination with the fact that most E-Bayers factor in S&H to their total bids more than overcomes my total S&H costs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that, nobody can dispute that charging $35 in S&H for a single package containing 7 coins is exorbitant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
