When considering fees for my items I take into consideration what Ebay charges me to list an item which in most cases runs around .90 to 2.25 depending on the price of the item. I try not to overcharge on anything for shipping; which usually ends up on me losing money because it then goes into cutting what I sold the item for. I usually go off of what the item weighs plus $1.25 in the states and $1.50 on International. Now I do not think this is to much when you start to breakdown all the items used in shipping; such is as follows: bubble envelope or box with bubbles or peanuts or some other sort of wrapping material, cost for shipping labels to print postage and address out on in the states, if international; the gas to go to the post office and time to stand in line and fill out all forms needed., fees & paypal fees ( you get hit by both of these; which really adds up; the cost of the item decides their share), your camera, batteries, printer, ink etc. So you see coming up with a fair shipping price is not as easy as it seems for those of you that just buy you may not realize all that goes into this equation. I hope this helps others understand the fees and maybe help some figure their fees. Thank you
