I just bought a cooler float for 3.50 and it didn't weight a pound but yet the shipping was $11.75 - I understand there is costs for the packaging stuff but dayum... since when did boxes, tape and inside stuffing cost more than 10 bucks? I took that same exact box down to the post office to see how much it cost to ship and it was $1.72 .:.:.:.:I'M PISSED:.:.:.:.

yeah the reason they are doing it is because ebay charges the seller based on sales price but not shipping,so the seller pads the shipping.It has completely ruined ebay for me.
