I was not trying to imply that sellers are cheating when it come to shipping charges. ( some do ) Charges have gone up. I realize that sellers also try to offset their costs beyond the shipping. Some factor in any supplies they buy. Boxes, tape, packing material, labels and their time and gas to get to a post office. I'm ok with all of that I was just saying the shipping charges are expensive and for me they often are the deciding factor if I pull the trigger on a item or not.
