Rob,

I am pretty sure what most folks are complaining about is obvious 
overcharges for shipping simple items.  Pretty easy to tell when one is 
getting  ripped off when the pint size envelope shows up with $1.67  
worth of postage and the seller wants a flat rate or $10.00.  My view 
is, you want to be a wanne-be retail mogul from your basement via ebay, 
factor in your total cost of business and include it in your reserve 
price, or take a loss if you don't feel like doing that, and stop 
transfering the risk back to the buyer by stepping on the shipping 
charges in a slimy way.
